Publisher's blurb:
At the base of the northern mountains, within the twisted ruins of a great subterranean fortress, the vicious Twilight Dragon – known to his slaves as Stallas the Great – has amassed a legendary horde of golden treasures and magical relics. From this fastness his armies of orcs, goblins, kobolds, and other monsters launch raid after raid on the civilized lands to the south.
His Majesty the King, seeking to reclaim the lands his Imperial forefathers withdrew from generations ago, sees a chance to gain the loyalty of the North by defeating the draconic menace. But the dark and winding tunnels of Stallas’s treasure vaults are no place for a massed assault; such a task requires a team of specialists to infiltrate and systematically wear down the Dragon’s layered defenses. Thus, he has turned to the Adventurer’s Guild, offering the King’s seal and a commission in his army as a special reconnaissance squad tasked with defeating the dreaded foe. The reward? Fame, fortune, the favor of his Majesty – and all the treasure they can haul out of those miserable halls.
