About Betrayal
How much is an act of betrayal worth?
Worth the price of a soul?
Dhamon Grimwulf and his band of mercenaries greedily eye a long-forgotten treasure concealed beneath a grassy plain. Legends promise riches too numerous to count, wealth too grand to be believed. But in a shifting world of secrets and deception, such fortune comes at a high price, higher even than the searing agony Dhamon suffers under the curse of a dragon's scale.
High enough to cost Dhamon his life.
The paperback version of the sequel to Downfall, the first book of the Dhamon Saga. Betrayal continues the adventures of characters featured in the USA Today bestselling Dragons of a New Age trilogy.

Welcome to another DragonLance Saga review episode. It is Bakukal, Holmswelth the 19th. My name is Adam and today I am going to give you my review of Betrayal by Jean Rabe.

Review
The story opens with the young Girl who is working with Sable. Her name is Nura Bint-Drax, and I believe she is a Spawn, but it’s not confirmed yet. She is telling Sable that she believes Dhaman is the one, whatever that means, and that she will continue testing him until he dies, or is confirmed as being the one. I do wonder what that is supposed to imply, and what Sable’s machinations are, as we haven’t heard anything about her other than having a zoo of odd creatures. Then we pick up with Fiona and Rig as they are actively cursing Dhaman. Apparently they abandoned him and Maldred at the end of the last novel and have been wandering, looking for her brother ever since. While it hasn't been too long, they are hungry and clearly in a dangerous part of the swamp. THey come across some draconians in a cave and do a bit of blind fighting. I am always pleased when this happens and it feels realistic, meaning, having no idea where creatures are or where to swing your sword. I have tried to emulate this in a TTRPG, but it never works out right.
Then we find Dhaman and Maldred in a brothel with five women ready to please them, but they insist on waiting until nightfall for some insane reason. If I can impart any wisdom here. Between consenting adults, never let embarrassment or shame get in the way of a good time. Everyone has parts of themselves they are not happy with but if someone is consenting to be with you, they clearly don’t care as much as you do. Give in to the moment, and have some fun. Life is too short not to. Anyway, these five women end up being much worse than presented. However before we get to that bit, we have a flashback to get to. The women are force feeding them drug spiked spiced rum in anticipation of nightfall, and the men are telling tales of their heroics in the interim. After the last novel, Dhaman and Maldred returned to Donnag, Mal’s father and chieftain of Blode. Mal completely threatens his life and nearly kills him with his son watching. Dhaman is convinced the sword Wyrmsbane is a fake as he wants to find a cure from this scale in his leg and the sword gives him visions instead.
Then with further threats of murder and theft, they consent to take a magical map. It seems to lead them to treasure when they focus on it. They take a bunch of jewels as well then leave to the brothel. The women reveal they are in fact thieves, in addition to being prostitutes, and go to kill them after knocking them out...
