The third book in the Legacy of Dhakaan series.

The Rod of the Kings Has Spoken.

Darguun. A nation forged out of the fires of war. Broght together under the wisdom of lhesh Haruuc, now bound by the charisma of Lhesh Tariic.

But Lhesh Tariic is bound by the powers of the Emperors of Dhakaan, manifest in the influential artifact, the Rod of Kings. With the dominance of the rod in hand, Tariic plans to lead his fledgling kingdom into battle and gain more land, more glory, more power--whatever the cost.

But the Empire of Dhakaan has left behind one more artifact, a force to bring doom to the goblin king... if only the heroes of Darguun can find it.
