The death of the king takes the Aelfin to the brink of civil war, as rival factions vie for the right to the throne. Imprisoned and facing a death sentence, Paddy and Seamus must find a way to escape from Aelfinholme, while chaos unfurls around them.

His only option now is to find his missing father in an attempt to regain his rightful place among the Aelfin. In Boggy Marsh, Hag Head strikes an uneasy truce with the evil Great Gold Dragon, Shiar. Together they leave their swampy home, vowing to take their revenge on the Demon Lord and his Hand. Meanwhile, Bajii’s control over Nudge is loosening, giving the agent of purpose the most freedom he has had in sixteen years. Knowing that time is running out, Nudge must take desperate actions to stay alive and build alliances to forge the future. And to the distant north, a darkness falls on Darkmoore Keep heralding the arrival of a new and unforeseen enemy. The war for the world of Foinse has begun.
