During a stakeout with Cyrus, strange things begin to emerge. Black suns and oddly familiar children begin to show up. The Drake’s fingerprints seem to be on everything with which she’s involved.

Bish is the land of constant strife and turmoil. The rise and fall of the blazing suns make the days long and the people disagreeable. Its barren Outlands are as comforting as a bed of thorns as there is little sanctuary to be found in the sweltering forests or the dank caves below the ground. Its caviling cities are overrun with death, greed, and corruption, but few complain. It is a place where tempers flare and alliances last as long as a tankard of ale. A place where good doesn't thrive, it endures.

Nath only has moments to figure that out before the final claws close in. Alone, against the most merciless monster in all of Nalzambor, Nath Dragon stands tall. But will it be enough?

Captive to Selene and the five-year Truce, Nath itches to know that his friends are well. Yet he can't seem to change into dragon form again. Maybe if he jumps from this balcony...
