A civil conflict threatens to ruin a hold.
An invading race returns.
An empire lies in peril.
A soldier's fate lies in the heart of it all.

Now promoted to Captain, Zeregut marches to the hold’s capital city, Imbris-Brea, to reestablish imperial law, but as he encounters the ruined town of Duribor’s Rest, he sets camp to reconstruct the once-prosperous village. During his stay, Zeregut allies with a creature lurking in a nearby lake, a dragon whose appearance rouses the ethereal senses of Zeregut’s old mentor, and imperial chancellor, Lord Larenim Savitaruc.
