As the fifth age spirals to a close, Tezcatlipoca's plan to claim the coming epoch for dragonkind is in full swing.

His meddlesome sister has been dispatched. His clutch of would-be breeders is starting to mature. And his high priest is tying up all the loose ends. Progress has not come without its costs, however. Rasputin despises him now and Drogo Channing dreams of usurping him. Then there's Aurora and Roz.

Reeling from the loss of Quetzalcoatl and the family manse, they retreat to their rustic vacation cottage on Lake Siskiyou only to be tracked down Roz's ex-boyfriend-turned-drake-agent. A deadly encounter forces the human-drakena alliance to make a radical change in strategy: no more running! If the drakes want war, then war is what they will get. And they intend to take the fight directly to Texcatlipoca.
