He stumbles on his chance to do so in the crypt of the Harker Foundation, where he finds a bar of pure silver and a notebook that tells of the Silver Dragon, an ancient, immeasurable treasure beyond imagination. It's a tall tale, but also Finnigan's only lead. To make up for what he's lost, he formulates the heigh of the millennium in search of the Silver Dragon. There's just one catch: the famed treasure is said to be hidden in a castle full of vampires
