Teldin Moore is alone. The Elf legions gave him a line of credit so he bought a single person spelljammer and traveled to the planet Crescent in Heartspace. There is a Great Archive there he is wanting to search for information about the Spelljammer and The Broken Sphere. There he meets a half elf named Djan Alantri who is a child of ‘the path’, a religious organization on this planet. Djan saves Teldin from ‘would be’ assaulting thugs. They agree to meet for wine after Teldin visits the library. He collects a lot of information from the Gnome run library and meets Djan for a drink. He decides to change ships and hire a crew, inviting Djan on board.

They buy a new squid ship and hire a crew, only to discover someone is sending mercenaries after Teldin. He then discovers Julia from the second book, and is looking for him with a heroic looking man named Beth-Abz. Teldin gets warning imagery from Beth, but ignores it. He listens to the incredible confidence of Julia finding Teldin and is convinced it's sincere, explaining that there is something about Teldin that is shaping reality, it could be the cloak or Teldin himself. They are hired on and this leaves Teldin wondering who sent those men after him.

Teldin was on his way to the harbormaster when neogi death spiders in the atmosphere began battling the local authorities, so Teldin fled to his ship and demanded that the ship take off immediately. They seemed to have successfully evaded the Neogi, and were headed to the edge of the Heartspace sphere. Captain Berglund was hired by an unknown person that knew exactly where and when Teldin would bring his ship the Boundless Possibilities out of the sphere and the ship was sabotaged from on board, so the pirate engaged them as expected. Teldin was stunned but on his way through wildspace, he confronted Beth-Ahz, and it turned out that he was actually a beholder that believed in individualism, rather than the hive mind of his species. Teldin made him show the crew who he really was and most everyone accepted it. Now Beth-Ahz was Teldin’s only defense against the dolphin battleship pirates.
