Synopsis
Jon-Joras travels to a backwater planet to arrange a dragon hunt for his king, only to discover that the normally slow-witted dragons have become dangerously intelligent and aggressive. Caught in a power struggle between rival factions, he must survive both rogue dragons and a political uprising that threatens the star-worlds.
