In a time when dragons are thought to be a myth, Damon finds that there may be one remaining, one last great secret. The answers lie at the other end of Dire. However, there is more than distance and the possibility of a dragon, there is also a king who cannot rule, people who are hiding the truth, and others who use their powers for personal gain. The story twists and turns, never taking the reader where expected, and it does so with sharp wit and compassion.
