It's the year 999, and the end of the world is coming-at least according to a mysterious prophecy. Wiglaf meets a strange boy who claims to come from the future. It's Zack, star of The Zack Files series by Dan Greenburg, and he says he's living proof that there is life after the year 1000.
Alarmed by a prophecy that the world will end with the arrival of the year 1000, the students of Dragon Slayers' Academy get some advice from Zack, a boy who has traveled back from 1999.
After accidentally killing a dragon, Wiglaf hopes his friends at Dragon Slayers' Academy will be able to help him prove himself a hero when he faces that dragon's mother, Seetha, the Beast of the East.
Wiglaf joins the other students of Dragon Slayers' Academy in searching the Dark Forest for the Cave of Doom, which supposedly contains the gold of the dead dragon Seetha.
