Tim Drake’s global training mission continues as he is forced into a shaky alliance in China.
Having left Paris to find the deadly assassin King Snake, Robin is now in Hong Kong. He finds himself reluctantly teamed up with the fierce and mysterious martial artist, Lady Shiva, and the tough former CIA agent, Clyde Rawlins.
Their mission is to track King Snake and his dangerous gang, the Ghost Dragons, who are attempting to create an underground drug empire. The three heroes follow the assassin’s trail to a mountain temple, where they anticipate a major confrontation.
The issue focuses on the uneasy dynamic between the moral, methodical Robin and the lethal, morally ambiguous Shiva, as they fight through waves of thugs and learn that King Snake’s ultimate plans are far more destructive than they initially thought.
