In this fourth book of The Dragon's Fate series, Joss is a young man looking for training in magic. His mother has trained him as a healer, but having experienced magical Healing, he knows how much more is possible. Joss wants to leave Broken Cliff, the Trader camp where he grew up, and to set out to find this power. But what he does not realize is how dangerous this power and the journey to find it will be. Dragons may not hold grudges, but men certainly do, and it is from men that he must learn the magic that he desires.
