This is the second of eight fantasy novels comprising the translation of the seminal 'Coiling Dragon Saga'.

What should have been a joyous, triumphant return has turned into ashes in Linley's mouth. Now a powerful and highly respected magus, Linley Baruch had finally completed his father's greatest desire and retrieved the family heirloom warblade known as 'Slaughterer'... only to find that his father, Hogg Baruch, had passed away.

Hogg's death was not a natural one, and the more Linley learned, the hotter his rage blazed. Some crimes demand justice, and sometimes justice comes through blood and blood alone. For too long had the Dragonblood Warriors slumbered. The time had come for Linley Baruch to remind everyone in the Yulan Continent why the Four Supreme Warriors were once feared above all others.
