"Once Upon Tun'Rummal" (Tyme And Yon Serpent Act 1; Book 2) continues the adventures of the newly entitled Dhuras Protectorate. While aiding the young city of Dhururahm and assuaging the evils plaguing its farmsteads, the Protectorate acquired an item of great power. Seeking the importance of a red crystal shard able to conjure fire now becomes the first clue steering their quest. Finding the Blue Sage, purportedly a source of information about the shard, they may finally gain their bearings towards completing their great quest.
