After learning how his powerlessness can be used as a weapon in the world of magic and defeating Nicodemus's plan to overthrow the government, Timothy travels to a war-torn dimension to help the Wurm: fierce magicians and warriors descended from an ancient dragon race.

But while covertly gathering information on the age-old feud between the bloodthirsty Wurm and the Parliament of Mages, Timothy unearths a conspiracy - and a very different story about those he's investigating...But that's not his only problem: despite Nicodemus's death, mages are still disappearing ...and this time someone is painting Timothy as the villain.
