Description
Non-stop action, adventure, mystery and humor as the three thieves race to escape the Queen’s Dragons and uncover the mystery of what happened to Dessa’s brother. For Fans of Disney adventure stories, heroic action and mysteries.
A mind-boggling mix of friendship, betrayal and escape – all in one dark and stormy night.
Dessa, Topper, and Fisk continue their search for Greyfalcon in hopes that he will lead them to Dessa's brother. But a terrible storm drives the three thieves off the road. Drenched, they take shelter at the Black Rock Inn--only to come face-to-face with their pursuer, Captain Drake.
The long night fills with near captures and narrow escapes. And Dessa's fate becomes tangled with those of the grasping innkeeper and his scarred, silent wife. Is it possible that they hold a clue in Dessa's quest to find her long-lost twin?
