Dragonwarrior 2: The Renegade Flame (The Dragonwarrior series)

The shadow has fallen on the Dragonwarriors' ancient quest, but hope remains as long as the Heartflame continues to burn. It falls to Adam to find and protect the Chi Bearer, a girl who seems to hold the key to the future, despite the tremendous forces arrayed against him. To survive he must decide if he relies on his head or heart, his wits or his strength, his skills as a detective or as a Dragonwarrior.

He finds himself hunted by his fellow police officers, as well as by a mysterious elite and a remorseless renegade Dragonwarrior, and all the while he must struggle to protect the Chi Bearer from these dark forces. Only his dreams of Shing's life as a Dragonwarrior hold the answers to how to safeguard the future, and he must seek out other former Dragonwarriors to act as allies in the modern day silent war.

Only the ancient past holds the terrible secret of the renegade flame, and the doom it portends in the present.
