Summary Of The Book

In this special edition and final quest, readers get to learn that Gethwing, the moon dragon, who was the right hand and lieutenant of Emperor Ko of the Empire of Goll, has come to power, and emerges as the main villain after Ko falls down a chasm that has no end.

Galen has gone missing and no one’s heard of him since. Eric has been manipulated by the moon dragon Gethwing into assuming the identity of his opposite, Prince Ungast, and has been held captive underground. As monsters and numerous dark forces approach and settle outside the capital of the kingdom of Droon, Jaffa city, war looks inevitable.

However, Eric, Julie, and Keeah are adamant about saving their beloved kingdom, no matter what the risks and repercussions. With Eric having regained his self and true identity, he must still pretend to be Prince Ungast, for there is a secret which, if unveiled, can help in the fall of Gethwing for good.
