Ale draci se přeci v Rivenu neobjevili už přes tisíc let. Navíc když Tom jeden z mečů uchopí, zachvátí ho zvláštní odpor. Jako by mělsnad v ruce hada… A pak se mu v kovářské výhni zjeví podivná tvář. Začíná snad bláznit? Co se to s ním děje? Proč ho plameny děsí, ale zároveň tak přitahují? Tom velmi brzy zjistí, že svět okolo něj není zdaleka tak draků prostý, jak se doposud domníval.
