Killing a beloved public figure is a delicate affair in the best of times. In order to take the king’s head without losing his own, Gorm must discover the crown’s most closely guarded secrets. Unfortunately, Gorm’s answers lie beneath Mount Wynspar, where a legendary dragon rests atop the most valuable–and most widely traded—hoard on Arth.

And Wynspar’s depths hold bigger secrets than anyone imagined. Fate and finance are about to collide in the mountain’s heart, with the fortunes of every person on Arth dangling in the balance. Gorm and his friends must face vindictive bankers, clever assassins, strange creatures, and ancient magic on their quest for the truth. Can they strike gold, or will the king successfully have them Dragonfired?
