Lord John Aversin--with the help of his mageborn wife, Jenny Waynest--has fought and defeated two dragons, earning the title of Dragonsbane. But there are creatures more terrifying than dragons. Demonspawn from a dark dimension have learned to drink the magic--and the souls--of mages and dragons alike, turning their victims into empty vessels. And now they've stolen John and Jenny's mageborn son, twelve-year-old Ian. In desperation, John seeks the help of the eldest and strongest dragon: Morkeleb the Black. But the demons have allies, too: a vast army poised to plunge the Realm into civil war. In the coming struggle, Morkeleb will sacrifice what he values most. Jenny will question everything she trusts and believes in. And John will embark on a perilous quest for the only things capable of defeating such powerful demons--even more powerful demons . . .

It is a bit grim and gritty and the characters are really put through the wringer here. The characters do feel like older folk who are no longer as spry as they once were but overall I found it an interesting read. Not my favourite of the series or my favourite Hambly but I'd read it again. (
