In a piece of the Mirror of Portent, Vanx Malic sees the forces of the mysterious Trigon destroying Parydon Isle. This strange new enemy, with ensorcelled fighters, dragon-riding wizards, and a nearly perfect battle plan, find little resistance in this future vision. After sending Gallarael to warn her brother, the Crown Prince of Parydon, about the invasion, Vanx sees the Trigon attacking his homeland, in the mirror. Deep inside he knows he has to go warn them.

Forced to torture information out of the cocooned Hoarwitch, Vanx learns how to free the gargan outcast, Chelda, from the Underland binding that keeps her trapped in the Shadowmane. He also learns how to transport his crew of treacherous friends to Zyth.

Together Vanx and his dog familiar, Sir Poopsalot, Thorn, Chelda, Flar and her elven lover, Moonsey, along with Gallarael, Prince Russet and a host of others, give all they have to keep the Trigon from destroying the Heart Tree.

Soon they learn that there is another, even more potent, force that drives the Trigon. This force is known as the Paragon Dracus, and stopping it just might prove to be impossible.

Even still, Vanx Malic is going to try. Join him in this, nonstop action and adventure fantasy that you won't be able to put down.
