The story continues... It has been two years since Jonathan Champion found himself trapped in this strange and dangerous world that irreparably marked him, and things have changed. For starters, he does not remember his name or any of the people whom he had met in the last two years. He does remember that he hates the green skinned Moks and that many of his people are being forced into meth addiction to power the rawstones. One thing at a time. First the Moks, then the rawstones. Tyrell and Grach have spent the last two years fighting against the encroaching forces of the Mok Empress. During a lull in the fighting, the two companions are approached by High Mage Gazell with the startling revelation that their friend Jonathan Champion was alive and was somewhere in the Lost Isles. With the Air Mage Fenn, they set off to try to find their lost friend. Meanwhile, the mysterious dark scaled creatures have resurfaced. Once again reunited with their Mok Allies, they move towards the Lost Isles to confront Champion at the request of the Mok Empress. But whose side are these dark creatures really on?

Jonathan Champion was the "golden boy." A federal prosecutor who made his mark bringing down some of the biggest meth dealers the country had ever known, and he did it in glamorous style. But fame often has a price, and Champion paid for it with the life of his wife and child. Now, he is a broken man. Scarred, both inside and out, he wants to hide from the world. But it's not this world that needs him. Champion finds himself taken to a world filled with magic-and meth. A place where human beings, or mundanes, are used like chattel. Here mundanes are forced into meth addiction that destroys them, body and soul. All in order to provide energy for their powerful masters. A crazed old woman tells him that he is the only hope for his people. That he is a mage with almost unreal powers. So Champion must choose. To embrace this new world and pit his fledgling powers against impossible odds or to hide and fade away. As Champion deals with his inner struggles and tries to stay alive, he and his companions begin to unravel a conspiracy that stinks of human misery and ancient evil. A conspiracy that traces the meth epidemic to this new world.
