Join Quentin ten years after the events of In The Hall Of The Dragon King, as his duty to the king of Askelon and his love for his home in Dekra are put to the ultimate test. Nin the Immortal eyes Askelon as a new expansion of his kingdom, and as Quentin learns more about the ominous Wolf Star prophecy it becomes clear that the end could be very near. As the newly crowned Dragon King, Quentin must find the courage to rise to the challenge and defend his lands.

It has been ten years since Quentin helped Eskevar, the Dragon King, battle the monstrous sorcerer Nimrood.? Since that time, there has been peace in the land of Mensandor.? But everything is changing.

An urgent message summons Quentin to Castle Askelon.? The king, who is dying, wishes to name the brave young man his successor.? But first, he sends him on a perilous mission.

What Quentin and?his friend Toli, the Jher horseman, discover is not for the cowardly.? The brightening Wolf Star is an omen of impending evil that might herald the beginning of the end of mankind on earth.? It signifies Nin, a fearsome giant of a man who hopes to add Mensandor to his growing empire.? Along with his merciless warlords, they are the fulfillment of a nightmarish prophecy. Can Quentin rise above and bring forth a new age of peace and prosperity? Or will the fate of Askelon fall to Nin.
