The Planet of Offworld is free, the Syndicate defeated and banished from the planet, and the Dragons freed from their centuries long enslavement.  However, despite their new found freedom, there is much to do, and little time in which to do it, to begin building the newly rescued planet into a world that the dragons, wolves and humans alike can love, and call home.  With limited time remaining before his death, Weyr Master Zek must do everything he can to prepare Offworld for their new future, and leave behind for the residents of this planet a world they can all love and enjoy for generations to come.
