Fourth in the exciting Band of Four series

Aglirta has been saved...or has it?

The Serpent has been vanquished...or has it?

Like many an Overduke before them, the Band of Four finds their work still unfinished still to be found, Aglirta still to be rebuilt into the peaceful, prosperous land it could and should be...and with some of the Four harboring personal mysteries that may endanger their companions or even Aglirta itself.

The dreaded Faceless are more active than ever before, Serpent-priests stalk the back laneways and farms up and down the Vale, and there's a tension in the air that everyone in all Asmarand can taste. A confrontation is drawing near, a battle that could shatter not just hopes or a kingdom, but the world of Darsar itself.

Aglirta has never seen such unlikely heroes before more time making clever remarks and defying any authority they encounter than anything else. When the fate of the Vale hangs in the balance, will the Four prevail?

"[THE DRAGON'S DOOM] will please the faithful...The action is fast and furious..."—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

A "most respectable wrap-up to a highly readable saga."—BOOKLIST
