Wracked with guilt, Dirk Provin has fled the Lion of Senet's court in Avacas to hide in the Baenlands with Tia Veran, where he finds that he can't escape his destiny, no matter how hard he tries.
Kirsh is now married to Alenor but he is discovering that the Queen's Guard is nothing like he imagined. He turns to Marqel for comfort, but his obsession with the acrobat could end up costing him his life.
And Marqel, having had a taste of court life, decides she wants to stay and is prepared to do anything to keep her newfound life of luxury, up to and including murder....
Meanwhile, the Lion of Senet has finally accepted that Dirk will not return to Avacas willingly, so, with the help of the High Priestess, he sets about driving him out into the open with a series of atrocities so dreadful that even Dirk cannot ignore them.
Desperate to expose Antonov and Belagren's lies, Dirk and Tia travel to the ruins at Omaxin, in the hope of uncovering the truth about the Age of Shadows.
But in Omaxin, Dirk will discover a truth he didn't bargain for and be forced to make a decision that will mark him forever as a traitor.
