Having finally defeated Calene the Black, Lisyra and her friends have gone their separate ways. Unfortunately, in Spearhead Point, where Sidess was the unofficial queen, treachery was afoot. The companions reunite, forced into a refugee camp, to fight back. The main problem is that Mathian, once loyal Disciple, has other plans. And what he's planning, with the inspiration of Heskel, the Demon God, could not only mean the end to Sidess' reign, but to life as Lisyra knows it.
