Synopsis
The mad king returns. Aoth Fezim and his mercenary company, the Brotherhood of the Griffon, have succeeded in rescuing Tchazzar, the lost king of Chessenta and a formidable red dragon. On his return Tchazzar rewards them richly, sends them back to the front lines, and names himself a god. Increasingly erratic in his war against a powerful dracolich, he begins to move in ways that make Aoth suspect that the Brotherhood may be just a pawn in a cutthroat draconic game that puts whole kingdoms at risk, a game played for stakes of gold and blood. Aoth and his band were introduced in Richard Lee Byers's trilogy The Haunted Lands; this is the second Brotherhood of the Griffon novel, after The Captive Flame.
