But Drool's ambitions are just one piece of a larger, perilous game. A shadowy spymaster, powerful goblin crime families, and a secret painting holding the key to a legendary, destructive villain known as the Pirate-Wizard, all converge on Logres. As James's understanding of the oppressed ogres deepens, he finds himself caught between burgeoning loyalties and an inevitable conflict. With betrayal at every turn and the looming threat of mass destruction, James must navigate a world of dark secrets and shifting alliances, knowing that his every choice could tip the scales of war and determine the fate of all.
