A dragon's egg must be retrieved by a hero cursed with immortality.

A dragon's egg must be retrieved by a hero cursed with immortality, between the worlds of faerie and man. Stars Paul Hilton.

Pilgrim is the reluctant and unthanked hero protecting mankind from an enemy they resist believing in.

Starring Paul Hilton.   

Pilgrim is summoned to help retrieve an egg stolen from the Lady Ursula - a huge, powerful dragon. 

The egg has been stolen by the outlaw Faerie, Puck, who has holed up in a house in a small town on the outskirts of Birmingham. 

Puck has recruited a bunch of feral 'estate lads' to his army. Indeed, he has bewitched the whole town. Pilgrim must retrieve the egg before Ursula can exact a terrible retribution.
