Instead of relaxing, he now has to slaughter the most powerful of beasts while running around and saving civilization as a whole. Re-Haan, his dragon mistress, isn’t helping either.

Then he finds an object that should be impossible, a hyper-dense projectile just like one that nearly bisected and killed him while he was breaking through....
