From the front flap of the Legend first edition: "The World is crumbling, literally and metaphorically. Had humanity retained their ancient lore they would understand these changes but in this - as in so much - the truth is lost behind a cloud of legends and myth. Together with their companions, Andris Myrasol and Princess Lucrezia are travelling towards the centre of mysteries: Salamander's Fire and Chimera's Cradle. Their motives are complex, their fellow-travellers varied. From the merchant Carus Fraxinus to the Serpent Mossassor and the massive dragomites each membr of the band has his or her own motive. However, motives come a bad second to war and a length of steel. As the band is split up new clues come to light and new alliances are formed. It may be that the history of this world is stranger than we can imagine..."
