An emotionally and physically exhausted, Detective Maxum, is given an assignment that takes him back to his old home town of Leezrone, in Gold Dragon Territory, to help quell a potential goblin uprising. The mission quickly turns out to be anything but ordinary. Maxum discovers that one of his children, he thought to be dead, may still be alive. Problem, the young puma is with a griffon, named Oboma. Maxum is put into a delicate position between doing his job and finding out for certain if this young one is indeed his. Tensions reach the boiling point as the goblins attack a Dragonsrod fort (Lucinda) and take captives including Maxum's possible child. Now, Maxum and Oboma must work together to save the hostages and prevent a war before time runs out.
