After six years of giving everything to Morevi, Askana Moldarin decides to ask for something in return…

Following the Eyriener Siege on Morevi and the conspiracy against the throne brought to light, consequences unfold…

Askana Moldarin faces Rafe Rafton, the decree of High Lady Dirare and High Council fresh in her mind. The privateer must be dismissed from the eyes of the First Queen and Court...

During the victory celebrations, Askana and Rafe follow their hearts and set a dangerous intrigue into motion...

Coumiran holds the Palace of a Thousand Suns. Emerging from the Crypts of Morevi, he now possesses one of the Ancient Texts that will return his beloved Maeve back to the corporeal world.

High Lord Coumiran, with Askana Moldarin as her prisoner, leads the Eyriener forces in an attack on the capital city of Morevi.

Allies arrive in secret to Songkusai at the same time reality arrives to His Majesty King Jermal. It is the High Lady Dirare that reminds the Consort-King where power in Morevi resides. Meanwhile, Askana — prisoner of Coumiran's Eyriener Forces — draws closer to Morevi. The closer she comes to home, the more she is plagued by bizarre dreams...

As the Eyriener forces continue to Arathelle, the Morevian-English allies continue their journey back to Songkusai.

The English Allies follow the coordinates provided by Askana Moldarin, and find themselves strangers in a very strange land.
