But when a surprise ambush by some familiar enemies leaves Zeus, a brave terrier friend, severely injured, King's adventures begin again. Following Zeus and his master to the vets in the city, King and his friends have two plans: 1) To make sure Zeus is okay, and 2) To sell the opals and make sure that Drawgon, the leader of their enemies, doesn't stop them. But the city is far different from anything King has ever experienced and before long he and his friends are in a whole heap of trouble.' (Publication summary)
