The Hunting of the Last Dragon by Sherryl Jordan.

Sherryl Jordan has written an extraordinary and deeply moving tale of fate, hope, loyalty - and the ability of one man to change destiny. The fate of two nations hangs in the balance. Now, caught between loyalty to his Navoran roots and love for the Shinali people, Gabriel must make a single choice. So what could an ancient prophecy foretelling his powerful nation's downfall have to do with him? When a chance meeting on a lonely plain brings him into the land of the Shinali, Gabriel develops a deep respect for these people and grows more and more disenchanted with his place among the powerful rulers of the Navoran Empire. From that day forward, Gabriel withstood the demands of his father, his family, and even his Empress in order to pursue his dreams of healing the sick. But he never forgot the eyes of the dying Shinali woman who asked him for help. It has been this way since his seventh year, when he witnessed a brutal act he was helpless to stop. All Gabriel Eshban Vala has ever wanted is to be a healer.

They cling to their traditional ways, awaiting a hero out of legend. The Shinali nation has been reduced to a single clan on a small strip of land. The Navoran Empire is wealthy, powerful -and slowly falling under the sway of the Empress's corrupt and sinister adviser.
