Description
The adventure among muskets and magic continues!
The dragon hunters question Alex’s motives and whether he can be trusted to remain with them. The maid who has grown close to him wrestles with her own questions. Will she continue to trust Alex, or must she be free of him for the good of her company and her own peace of mind?
Lucette must fight for a place among the gryphons, risking dangers no less destructive than the cannon’s mouth. The secret power she possesses may not avail her against gravity and gryphon’s claws.
A lieutenant with more to fear from the commander than from musket fire and bayonets continues his pursuit of the map and the maiden, but his own heart remains troubled. He will have to enlist the aid of the girl’s countrymen against her to fulfill his desperate mission.
With the commander closing in upon his prey, the strange pair will evaluate their loyalties and take actions which may change the course of events on two continents.
Although they have lost much, the smugglers have not lost their spirit. They accept an important mission across the sea. They will have to capture a ship with which to challenge the might of two empires.
Bitter surprises await them all, and Alex will discover the depth of his power to hurt before he can confront his terrible enemy.
