When he, in his dragon skin, thwarts a kidnapping, he exposes the vulnerability of his community. He teaches them hand-to-hand combat and how to use quarter staffs, converting the resident women and children into warriors. He repels a brutal attack led by a necromancer. The residents successfully defend their home using techniques he taught them, but the battle leaves him seriously wounded.

Six years of pursuit culminated in a chilling whisper on the wind: Erlender has found Smoky Springs, forcing Jason to choose between his quest and the safety of those he promised to defend.
