As Ashjuk pointed out ... dc:description is NOT a required metadata item. Language, Title, Id, Author, (and for epub3 date modified) are the very minimum.

What on earth would you put in a description field for an empty epub that would make any sense?

Just use the built in Metadata Editor to add it to the book.

There are also some simple standalone tools that you can use to just edit the Metadata of an epub. If an epub2, then Doitsu has a simpler Metadata editor for many beginners to use that can be added as a plugin.

Any and all of these are options.
