'The Dragon Eye clattered back onto its rocky pedestal as the most excruciating, blinding, white-hot pain Viggo had ever felt, suddenly seared across the left side of his face. He screamed in agony and pressed his hands over where the blast had made contact with his skin. He felt his fingers blistering too, but nothing could ever have prepared him for the unbearable torture that was happening underneath them. Viggo had never _felt_ so much before.' *** After surviving his fall into the fiery heart of Dragon's Edge, Viggo Grimborn must find his way off the island and cope with his trauma. It's a struggle that many women and men wouldn't win, but Viggo is a master at defeating his opponents; he's still playing the game. How did he end up in that dim corner of the tavern? How deep did his scars really go? And what memories have been stirred up along the way? This story follows his journey up until the events in "Return of Thor Bonecrusher" when Krogan approaches him in the Northern Markets tavern.
