While war has started to rage on the borders of Ishtabar, Tyree Loveland, a young halfling apprentice is thrust into an adventure that could only be dreamed about. With the fate of the world kept safe within a magical chest. He must deliver the one thing that can cause the much needed rift in the growing war, the egg of a red dragon. Along with a ragged band of adventures, Master Well, an aged wizard heaped in mystery and magic. Mister Sayler, a cunning human hunter. Elizha Ambrose, a regal elf born of royalty and skill. And finally May, a beautiful half-elf, who was not so unwillingly thrust into the journey. With this band of adventures, Tyree must move quickly through the wilderness and cross Vine Gate Pass deep within the Kin-Morrow Mountains before the evil that is ravaging the land catches up with them. Can Tyree survive the demons and dragons that seek his blood, or will he succumb to the evil that is slowly taking over the world that he knows.
