With three generals battling by his side, the Hero who Slayed Ruuan, is expected to fight with the strength of ten men and make the difference that leads the king to victory. Problem is, nobody slayed Ruuan. The prophecy can not possibly be true. Even so, it looks as if it will be right about one thing. No way is Greg getting out of fighting the Canarazas.
