Peter Vaughan’s life is about to get a whole lot worse.
With Malkonar roaming free his secrets cannot hide, and he soon finds himself harassed by Kaos and Haerode, psychotic dragon assassins with only one thing on their Septimus’ blood. Humanity is no refuge the bankrupt Damien Institute has caught wind of Septimus’ existence, and their unforgiving leader Lyra Stewart wants him at any cost. He may have the double agent Maria Overgaard to help keep them at arm’s length, but he soon discovers that, as useful as she may be, she by no means has innocent intentions with him.
But the problems run deeper than just new faces. A year of co-habiting has seen Peter and Septimus grow used to one another, and familiarity breeds contempt. Danger lurks on all sides and from all species, but the greatest threat to Peter’s survival may just be the only friendly face he can turn to.
