Twenty years have passed since Rothsarien's agonizing loss. He has spent the intervening time fueling his hatred and stoking his rage...
Across the sea on a guarded continent, the young boy Alari grows into a man, gaining the title of Dragonlord along the way. Yet he suffers from a mysterious illness that leeches his strength and hurts those around him.
When Alari's sickness permanently damages the daughter of one the family allies, he must go forth and hunt two dragons in recompense. At the same time, Rothsarien travels forth in search of the ancient enemies of his kind.
Alari and Rothsarien head invitably towards each other, setting the stage for a battle neither one can prepare for... yet neither one can win...
