Synopsis
Duke Toma, who wants total power, unleashes evil on the world of the Dragon Kings, a realm at war between humans and fiery, shape-shifting beings. Cabe Bedlam, a young man in a treacherous world, is the only one willing to challenge him. He carries a warrior tradition passed down from his ancestors, the gifts of the witch Gwen, and the magical Horned Blade, which gives its bearer mastery over many forms of man and beast.
