As Reyah prepares for her journey north, the Realm is attacked once again. In order to appear in control of the situation, the palace places the blame on the captured gang leader, Lazio. While in lock up awaiting his execution, Reyah visits Lazio, where he tells her a strange, foreboding prophecy, one in which hints that Kaspian may be in danger.
Reyah braces herself as she must confront the dark reason she left the north, as well as her estranged brother, but matters are made worse when someone discovers her affair with the general.
