 
Jean Rabe's long-anticipated return to Krynn continues!
 Escaping from the slave  pens of a Dark Knight mining camp was no easy feat, but what awaits Direfang, a former  hobgoblin slave who has become the reluctant general of a growing goblin army is  every bit as perilous.  From the cruel ogre mountains to the shores of Newsea, Direfang,  Mudwort the shaman, and the Dark Knight wizard Grallik fight the natural and unnatural  forces that seek to destroy them. Direfang is tested to his limits by once-friends  and powerful foes as he undertakes a death march to the Qualinesti Forest. His eyes  on independence, Direfang refuses to surrender, and pledges his life for a chance  to be free, even as he learns that freedom is a deadly prize.
