As the lines between enemy and ally blur, Guillot dal Villerauvais is drawn farther into the life and service he had left far behind. Solène attempts to come to terms with the great magical talent she fears is as much a curse as a blessing, while the Prince Bishop’s quest for power twists and turns, and takes on a life of its own.
With dragons to slay, and an enemy whose grip on the kingdom grows ever tighter, Gill and his comrades must fight to remain true to themselves, while standing at the precipice of a kingdom in peril.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The explosive second installment in Hamilton's Dragonslayer trilogy (after Dragonslayer) juggles the machinations of mages, warriors, and scheming politicians in a land beset by dragons. Guillot only survived killing his first dragon with the help of a magic cup that enhanced his power, but his victory earns him a reputation as a dragonslayer, and more and more villages turn to him for help. Gill's friend Sol ne has powerful magic that's all her own, but she can't control it. She returns to the city of Mirabay to study, but soon realizes that the city is not as safe as it used to be. Meanwhile, Amaury, the Prince Bishop of Mirabay, discovers that the king he put in place to be his puppet may not be as easy to control as he had hoped and launches a desperate quest to get his hands on Gill's cup and the power it can give him. The jam-packed plot ends on a cliffhanger that expertly sets up a new world order for the final installment. Those who appreciate suspenseful battles fought with magic, swords, and wits will enjoy this epic page-turner.
Customer Reviews
Dragons, magic and swords
Quite often the second book of a trilogy is a minor disappointment. Not this one! It’s as good if not better than the first book. It kept my eyes glued to the”page” and was mildly grumpy when life interrupted my reading.
