The book begins with Hiccup lying on the shore of Hero's End, unconscious. The Wodensfang arrives and wakes Hiccup by pouring water on his face. When Hiccup wakes up, however, it turns out he has amnesia, not even recognizing his own name[1]

With the help of the Hogsfly Hiccup escapes from a Sandshark and Vampire Spydragon attack on Hero's End, but the Wodensfang is tranquillised and made conscious. He reaches the island of Tomorrow despite an attack by the rebel dragons with the help of Fishlegs and Camicazi, he as yet doesn't recognise his friends. The Dragon Guardians of Tomorrow permit him to land on the island even though he doesn't knowing hold any of the "King's Things".

On the island of Tomorrow, Alvin the Treacherous is about to be crowned King. Hiccup challenges Alvin and claims the Kingship for himself. With the intervention of Fishlegs, and the reading of Grimbeard the Ghastly's will, and the help of Nanodragons, the assembled Viking tribes affirm Hiccups claim, and he is crowned king.

At this point Wodensfang awakes and asks if Hiccup has found the "real" dragon jewel, explaining that the jewel that Hiccup found in the swallowing sands was a decoy. The real jewel contains two fossilised nanodragons, one of which is carrying a deadly plague (which explains the dragons' fear of the jewel)

Without the real jewel, Hiccup must go to face the Dragon Furious in single combat. Hiccup is overpowered, but realises at the last moment that the dragon jewel must be hidden in the lobster necklace that Fishlegs had given him. With the jewel Hiccup is able to begin to negotiate a peace with Furious.

However the witch and Alvin disturb Hiccups negotiations and provoke a total war between humans and Dragons. Nevertheless Hiccup manages even now to negotiate a truce, and Alvin is taken to his death by the Dragon Guardians for breaking the terms of single combat.

The witch attempts to kill Hiccup with a poisoned sword, but Furious steps in front of her and is struck by the sword. Even though the blade is not long enough to do damage to the Dragon, he is poisoned and knows he is dying. Furious agrees with Hiccup to a permanent peace, and after Hiccup's eventual death for the dragons to go into permanent hiding in the Northern oceans, until such time as humans can be trusted to live in peace with dragons.

The book ends with an elderly Hiccup describing how the dragons which had been common in his youth were now rare sights, and how bards were writing stories which made dragons mythological.
