Surrounded and outnumbered by the forces of darkness, the 109th Fighting Dragons make their final stand!
Destiny falls on the dragons and boys of the 109th Fighting Marneri atop Sprian's Ridge. There, they will make a stand, a valiant few against an army of horrors bred in the hellish pits of the Doom Masters of Padmasa. If they should fail, the Nine Cities of the Argonath will be at the mercy of the dread enemy. Mountains of skulls amidst burning ruins, the collapse of civilization, and the onset of a new dark age will be the inevitable result. Standing with them are a few hundred soldiers and the warriors of a wild highland clan. On their endurance and courage all else will depend.
But for Dragoneer Relkin and battle dragon Bazil Broketail, surviving long enough to fulfill their destiny won't be easy. After an unauthorized rescue mission to save High Wing, Bazil's mate, Relkin finds himself up on an unjust murder charge. How can he save the world when his own fate seems beyond his control?
