Redgar holds the key to his salvation - only he does not know it yet. Tainna is leading him into the heart of the swamps, into the domain of King Iliy, the monstrous renegade.
In the mean time, Redgar's realm bleeds. Dalie's betrayal is coming to a bloody and very final confrontation with her sister. And caught in the middle are Ladin and Crin, both serving masters they must love and betray.
