The secrets of the Blue Forest torment Duke Angouleme; he hungers for new artifacts and won’t calm down until he takes possession of the Ogre Seal from the Tower of Horrors. And now the reliable Caspar Frey is setting off on another expedition. With him are his friends, and against him are his eternal enemies—mages who want his life and his luck. There’s also the abandoned, yet mind-robbing city of ogres—and someone who has returned from the cold depths of the underworld to take revenge.
