Ven flees the enemies he made in his last adventure and invites his friends (some of them, like himself, not human) on a new quest to stop a faraway dragon's rampages. The book's alternation between third-person narration and journal entries feels increasingly arbitrary, but the action is as nonstop, the characters as likable, and the dangers as dire as ever.
