The Fallbacks now serve the Lady of Loudwater, and their first taste of authority is bittersweet. They finally have fame, fortune (or at least a steady paycheck), and the power to make real change. But when confronted with the injustices of the system they enforce, the Fallbacks must decide where their priorities lie. Plus, Cazrin makes a shocking discovery about the white dragon terrorizing the town!
