Modern deliveryman Cohen transmigrates into a useless noble and discovers others can hear his inner thoughts. With prophetic “mind broadcasts,” he foils Cormack and Odric’s plots: poisoning the Guardian Dragon, framing the Stones, and assassinating Queen Serene. Assassin Aisling switches sides after learning the truth. When barbarians invade through a secret tunnel, Cohen rides the dragon and reverses the battle with dragon breath. After victory, Queen Serene, guard Vera, and Aisling all fall for him. The Light Priestess keeps him in this world forever; the three women chase him for an answer, and he flees.
