Description:

Legend holds that a Celestial turned evil once stole the Creator’s Staff of Light, fleeing with it to the World Below. The staff shattered when the Celestial changed a lizard into the Great Dragon. The exploding staff killed the evil Celestial and unleashed terrible beasts upon the Earth, for the Great Dragon became the mother of all her kind.The other Celestials were forbidden to leave their realm to fix the problem. Thus, they sent their servants to stop the Dragons. Many called them Elves, and they did their best, but the Elves were no match for the fire-breathing monsters.In desperation, the Elf Queen has sent the darkest of them—Iroldo the Lynx Lord, a master of the knife and stealthy forays—to rescue one who has learned a fatal Dragon weakness. But she’s locked deep in a deadly fortress, guarded by manticoras, wyverns, sorcerers and Dragons.This is the world’s last chance to stave off eternal slavery, and their hope lies in the skills of the darkest of rogues.
