Der größte Coup seines Lebens Die Graue Regentschaft ist besiegt, das Königreich wieder vereint, doch Ardor Benn, der unvergleichliche Meister von List und Tücke, kommt nicht zur Ruhe. Eine einstige Verbündete trachtet ihm nach dem Leben. Obendrein wird er von einem alten Feind zu einem aberwitzigen Auftrag erpresst: Er soll einen lebenden Drachen stehlen. Und als wäre das noch nicht genug, betritt ein Gegner die Bühne, so mächtig und skrupellos wie keiner zuvor. Ard und seine Freunde müssen all ihren Wagemut, ihr Geschick und ihre Intelligenz zusammennehmen und ein letztes Mal in den Kampf ziehen – einen Kampf, bei dem nichts Geringeres auf dem Spiel steht als Raum, Zeit und die Realität selbst.
Gentleman. Gauner. Legende. Ardor Benn ist kein gewöhnlicher Dieb. Er ist gerissen, ehrgeizig und ein Meister des komplexen Coups. Sich selbst bezeichnet er gerne als "außergewöhnlichen Gentleman-Gauner". Als ein Priester ihn für den bislang riskantesten Job seiner Karriere anheuert, weiß Ardor nur zu gut, dass er dafür mehr als Schlagfertigkeit und Taschenspielertricks benötigt. Er stellt daher eine illustere Truppe aus Fälschern, Täuschern, Intriganten und Dieben zusammen und macht sich daran, den mächtigsten König zu bestehlen, den das Reich je gesehen hat. Doch schon bald wird klar, dass hier mehr auf dem Spiel steht als Ruhm und Ehre – Ardor und seine Leute könnten die letzte Hoffnung der gesamten Menschheit sein.
