Yuva and his companions, having fallen into a trap set by deserters from the Royal Guard, are grievously wounded and on the brink of annihilation. The traitors demand that Eriquo hand over the Dragonsbane, a legendary relic they seem to think he secretly carries...

The gritty dungeon-crawling fantasy from science fiction master Tsutomu Nihei ( Blame!, Knights of Sidonia) continues!
