Duke's life has become about more than simply taking nuisances off the Board these days. Instead, he finds himself dealing with screams that no one wants to hear, a not-so hidden Dwarven city, foul-mouthed birds on the wing, and more. But when he and Lilly discover that all of these are parts of a coordinated attack on Capital City, they join up with old and new friends and rivals to keep the city safe. When combined with trying to get a wedding planned and pulled off, Duke is kept running as he relates one of his greatest adventures. Will he make it to the altar on time? And, will Capital City still be standing when he does?
