His crown I took because other men said I could not have it.” Now I left the castle in the hands of another. “Three months previously I had entered the Haunt alone, covered in blood that was not my own and swinging a stolen sword. When Gog, Jorg’s young leucrota friend, has a fiery problem, Jorg sets off with his Road Brothers to find a solution, a fire warlock that will hopefully rein in Gog’s dangerous outbursts.
