In the ultimate war between humans and fiery, shape-shifting beings, Duke Toma, bent on utter supremacy, has unleashed every conceivable evil on the world of the Dragon Kings. Only one person will dare to challenge him: Cabe Bedlam, a mere youth cast adrift in a world where none can be trusted. Yet at his command is a formidable arsenal...a fierce warrior tradition imparted by regal, still-living forebears...the fabulous gifts of witch Gwen, the ravishing lady of the Amber...and the magical Horned Blade, the sword that promises its bearer total mastery over the many menacing forms of man and beast.
