The day has finally come to deliver Baron Draconarius to King Ian so that he can be punished for the murder of Kengary's chief advisor. This is a dangerous time to do so, for the kingdom of Kengary is in the middle of a bloody civil war caused by the as-yet unavenged crime. Valiant is assigned the task of escorting the prisoner to his fate (which is sure to be death). Unfortunately, his hate-fueled drive to see that his old foe pays for his crimes places the entire mission in jeopardy.
