There are dragons in the world. There are goblins, beasts and trolls. Magic and darkness lurk in the hearts of men who seek power. When life is given to legend, what hero will stand and fight? What power will rise to quell the fire of Anderoth's Dragon? The dwarves unleashed it first, ages ago from the depths beneath Locksly Sur Anon and it was Lord Anderoth who drove it back under the earth with the Trident of Norcule. The dwarves fled to a new home, their tower left abandoned and the story turned to legend. The dragon, nearly forgotten. But the greed of one man claimed the old tower, now known as Locksonon, and made an alliance with the Torokka goblins to remake the dwarf weapon craft to fill his desire for riches. But the Torokka cannot be so easily controlled and they killed a curious party from Morthonesse, including the heir to the throne. Seeking justice, his younger brother, Corbin, runs away to seek aid from the elves and finds a grouchy wood troll named Bark. But can they discover the truth behind the secrets of the tower... And if Anderoth's Dragon yet lives?
