About this item
In this fourth installment of the Three Thieves fantasy adventure series of graphic novels, Captain Drakes quest to find Dessa, Topper and Fisk has led him to a remote healing monastery where he believes they have gone to tend Dessas broken leg. While pursuing his quarry, Captain Drake finds himself beset by memories of his early days as a young and idealistic knight in King Rodericks service. Featured as flashbacks, these memories provide readers with important clues to the unfolding story, such as that the Kings Dragons were more loyal to the palace chamberlain, Maarten Greyfalcon, than to the king that there was a mysterious letter written by the king, meant to be read only at his death, which had disappeared and that Drake had uncovered a plot to murder the king.
