Tanith Ven is a gargoyle, a former assassin, and an alcoholic with a chip on his shoulder. He's recruited by X'on Doth, a half-giant scholar, to search for an abandoned dragon's hoard, said to contain the only source of true magic left in the world. Their quest takes them across continents bereft of humanity and forges an unlikely friendship in the face of overwhelming challenge: torture at the hands of vicious elves, a civil war among the dwarfs, a sojourn to Ven's former lover and master, and a journey beyond the sea into unknown lands. But one of them is harboring a terrible secret. One of them could destroy the world.
