Nuclear disaster threatens both real and fantasy worlds in the second Varayan Memoir fantasy adventure by the author of Son of the Hero. On his twenty-first birthday, Gil Tyner stepped through a portal into the magical Buffer Zone between our world and the land of the fairies, leaving his life as a college student behind. Torn from everything he'd ever known, Gil rose to the challenge and mastered his new surroundings, becoming a slayer of both elves and dragons. But now the Buffer Zone faces a threat that will push even Gil to his limits, a menace that could propel rampaging dragons into the world Gil left behind. To stop it, Gil will need to seek a treasure, but its recovery may prove more dangerous than even the dragons themselves . . .
