Epub v5The tyrant Alexandre is gone from Saardam, but a
new menace has come: the eastern traders in a ship of metal that is said to
have been forged with dragon magic. They bring a chest of gold to buy an office
in the city. 

The people don't want them in their town. The Church of the Triune, which
forbids magic, has increased its hold on the population, despite the Red
Baron's efforts to stamp it out. 

Newly-crowned queen Johanna is staring into the empty coffers after the
extravagant spending by her husband's father before his death. King Roald is
off in the garden to catch frogs, and she faces condemnation by the church in
the knowledge that Saarland will need both money and magic to defeat the Red
Baron's army.
