Summary
In the city of Berk, your worth is measured in power. Society is ruled by ruthless Guilds, and your future is determined on your twentieth birthday when your anima—a spirit animal that grants extraordinary abilities—finally manifests.
For Hiccup Haddock, son of the formidable Apex Guild Leader, that day was a public humiliation. Branded a Level 0 for his laughably weak manifestation, he's relegated to a menial job and the bottom rung of the social ladder, a disappointment to everyone, especially himself.
For Astrid Hofferson, the opposite is true. A rising star with a powerful anima and the most sought-after prospect in years. And for reasons that defy all logic, she seems utterly, intensely fascinated with Hiccup.
As Hiccup tries to navigate his new life as a pariah, fending off pity and ridicule while dealing with Astrid's confusing and overwhelming attention, he begins to uncover anomalies in the Guilds' operations. Secrets that the most powerful people on Berk would do anything to keep buried. In a world that sees him as useless, can Hiccup unravel a dangerous conspiracy and figure out Astrid's true intentions before he's crushed by the system he was born to lead?
