AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Dillen, Koto and Tajini (from Tales of the Blue Jade) are free of their cruel masters and ready for their next adventure. Dillen is drawn to a respected mapmaker's appeal for an apprentice. But many others also want the job so the mapmaker sets them a task. They must undertake a journey to a mountain pass haunted by a fearsome creature said to be the size of a barn and able to move like a hunting snake. Dillen and his friends soon discover they have an even more perilous mission on their hands, one that could be the end for all of them. (Source: Trove)
