The war between Dragon and Man continues unabated, as it has for over a thousand years.
Roland and Ursala have decided to stop fleeing from those who wish to destroy them. Both Dragonkind and Humankind have renounced Roland as Malus Apostate.
Ursala, the promised Fifth Sister among Dragonkind, is prophesied to unite all of her kind and lead them into the ultimate war against humanity. She, too, must die.
But is the prophecy immutable, and truly from the gods… or can it change in ways no mortal could imagine?
An epic fantasy adventure, DESPERATE PAWNS is the third book in B.R. Stateham's Roland Of The High Crags series.
