An unstoppable creature of legend wakes to claim the world. To save her people, Princess Sabra volunteers to go to the dragon. But the wyrm Astorat knows that when he devours her he can overthrow the empires of man. Only one outcast knight threatens the horror's rise, a reluctant self-proclaimed dragon-slayer who hates to be called Saint George. As civilisation crumbles, while men and monsters run wild, a dragon, a damsel, and a tarnished hero face a final, fateful appointment. Award-winning fantasy author I.A. WATSON concludes the epic adventure of sword versus serpent, passion versus dragonfire, for the future of humanity.
