Tim Drake’s global journey to find the deadly assassin King Snake takes him further into the heart of the conflict and forces him to question the methods of his ruthless allies.
In Hong Kong, Robin, Lady Shiva, and the rogue CIA agent Rawlins finally track the villain to his hideout—the heavily-guarded mountain temple where he is training his criminal army, the Ghost Dragons.
The team launches a complex, multi-pronged assault on the temple. As the action explodes, Robin finds himself fighting alone against waves of trained warriors, testing the hand-to-hand combat skills he worked so hard to acquire.
However, the main drama is the moral conflict. Robin witnesses the brutal, unforgiving justice meted out by Lady Shivaand Rawlins, forcing him to confront the dark line between fighting crime and becoming a killer. The issue culminates with a major reveal regarding King Snake’s ultimate goal, escalating the mission beyond a simple hunt for a killer into a war for control of the region.
