<P> This is the eleventh and penultimate book in the series .

Soon they find Wolf - fangs in the river, showing them why he was screaming . Then they see why he stopped . Thousands of Dragon Rebellion dragons were sleeping on the riverbank . Then they see who the human is...Snotlout . Everyone except Hiccup decides to leave him, but Hiccup persuades them to save him, accidentally waking up Snotlout's Hogfly . The Hogfly, in turn, accidentally wakes up the nearby Rebellion dragons . They all flee from the Rebellion dragons (joined by the dragon Furious) to their secret hideout, hiding as Furious and the dragons search for them . However, Alvin's Spydragons kidnap Camicazi so Snotlout brings them on a rescue mission to save her . When escaping from the Alvinsmen, Snotlout changes clothes with Hiccup to provide a diversion . Snotlout is shot down, and killed . Therefore, Camicazi and Fishlegs think Hiccup is dead . </P> <P> The twelfth and final book in the How to Train Your Dragon series . Hiccup wakes up on the beach at Hero's End with the Wodensfang, Hogfly...and amnesia sustained when he hit his head on the mast of the boat at the end of the previous book . The Wodensfang tries to explain who Hiccup is, but before they can they are attacked by Sharkworms and the Vampire Spydragon from the previous book . After defeating the dragons, Hiccup takes a boat which has washed up on the beach and sails towards Tomorrow . Fishlegs, Camicazi, and the Triple - Headed Deadly Shadow Dragon try and rescue Hiccup, but he attacks them because he doesn't know who they are and the Wodensfang is asleep from a poison dart . Once Hiccup reaches Tomorrow, he is captured by the Dragon Guardians of Tomorrow who attempt to kill by performing Death by Airy Oblivion, but halfway up realize that they have made a mistake and Hiccup should not be killed, and so drop him in the swamp . Hiccup crawls out of the swamp and enters Grimbeard the Ghastly's castle just as Alvin is about to be crowned king by the Druid Guardian . At this point, Hiccup regains his memory and gives a speech convincing the Druid Guardian to crown him king instead . Hiccup is crowned and prepares to engage the Dragon Furious in single combat . The Druid Guardian tells Hiccup the secret of the Dragon Jewel: that it contains two tiny dragons which are carrying a deadly virus that can wipe out dragonkind if the jewel is cracked . However, Hiccup's jewel doesn't have the dragons, meaning that it is a fake . This means that Hiccup will have to defeat the Dragon Furious with might alone . Hiccup rides the Windwalker, accompanied by Toothless and the Wodensfang, into battle and is knocked off the Windwalker's back by Furious . As Furious prepares to kill Hiccup, Hiccup remembers a speech Furious gave at the beginning of battle, where he talks about how Hiccup was the new Grimbeard and would be a cruel king . Furious cites how Hiccup has the king's things and the lobster necklace, which Fishlegs gave him for luck . Hiccup deduces that the necklace was also Grimbeards, and so gets Toothless to crack open the necklace with his jaws, revealing the real Dragon Jewel . Hiccup threatens Furious with the jewel and talks to him, reaching a peace agreement . Once the agreement has been reached, Hiccup throws the jewel into the sea . However, before the agreement can be made, Alvin and the Witch attack Furious, thus violating the laws of single combat . Furious gets the dragon army to attack and so soon there is an all - out Vikings vs. Dragons battle . Meanwhile, Camicazi and Fishlegs capture and detain Alvin, who reveals that he found the necklace in Grimbeard's tomb and gave it to a princess as a present while masquerading as a fisherman, which means that Alvin is Fishlegs' father . After telling this, Alvin prepares to kill Fishlegs before the Dragon Guardians intervene and kill him . Hiccup convinces Furious to call off the attack once more and are once again about to reach a peace agreement when the Witch attacks Hiccup with the Stormblade . Furious intervenes and kills the Witch, then completes the treaty and makes himself and Hiccup blood brothers . However, the Stormblade was poisoned and so Furious leaves his command of the dragons to Luna, his second - in - command, and goes out to sea to die . The epilogue shows how Hiccup built a new kingdom of harmony on Tomorrow where humans and dragons could live in peace, but also had humans domesticate horses and hawks so that he can fulfill his promise which stated that if humans didn't change by the time he died, dragons would have to go into hibernation . Hiccup also instructed Fishlegs to perpetuate that the whole story was just a myth . </P> <P> DreamWorks Animation released on 26 March 2010 a computer - animated film adaptation How to Train Your Dragon, directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, the directors of Lilo & Stitch . The film features Gerard Butler as Stoick the Vast, Hiccup's father, Craig Ferguson as Gobber the Belch, and Jay Baruchel as Hiccup . The film proved to be a resounding critical and box office success, and became a major media franchise for DreamWorks Animation including a 2014 feature film sequel How to Train Your Dragon 2, with Dean DeBlois directing it . </P> <P> The plot of the film is almost completely different from the first book in the series . The greatest change is how the Vikings in the book have the custom of capturing and training in combat against dragons even before the story begins--but in the film, they are fighting a fierce war against the dragons and only switch to training them after Hiccup shows that this can be done . Furthermore, Toothless is completely re-imagined as an injured Night Fury dragon, the rarest, fastest, and most powerful and intelligent breed that is capable of carrying human riders on its back as a flying mount . In the books Toothless is an exceptionally small and exceptionally common dragon who is extremely disobedient . However, Cowell stated in her blog that she felt approvingly that the film remained "true to the spirit and message of the book ." Cowell also explained that she felt that the adaptation required a change in plot and characters . </P>
