The fabled Dragon Lord trove is a thing of legend. No one has penetrated the old Dragon fort deep in the heart of the Behundrian desert, sealed a thousand years ago. Vetravincus, sword for hire, finds himself fighting for his life in the lawless town of Dragonskull, overrun by a slave caravan of criminals. Brigands want to kill him-he just wants to fence a jewel-but such missions are things of the past after he befriends a persecuted half Thrule who claims to know where the lost treasure is, and a gifted swordstress eager for plunder. Dragons are waiting around the corner... If you like your sword and sorcery hard and fast, don't miss this gritty, action-packed adventure...
