Phraan of Twelve towers used to be a dragonslayer, and he was good at
it, maybe too good for there havent been a dragon seen for fifty
summers. But now they suddenly reappear and as his old team is
reassembled they discover that the dragons have changed, and not for the
better. Old tales have a core of truth and they will meet an enemy they
no longer can hope to conquer. A mysterious stranger offers them the
only possible solution but can they trust her? Can they have any hope of
surviving such a mission? Through both love and heartbreak Phraan does
discover that not even his own past is what he believed it to be, they
all harbour secrets, some darker and more lethal than the others....
