The Sphinx dispatches Senlin to look into a scheme that has taken root in the ringdom of Pelphia out of fear of an insurrection. Senlin, left on his alone in the city, breaks into a brutal arena where hods compete for the amusement of onlookers. But an unexpected reunion and a horrific crime rapidly derail his inquiry.

Voleta and Iren try to approach Marya, who is alone because of her notoriety, by dressing as a noble lady and her handmaid. Voleta navigates the court and draws the unwelcome attention of a strong prince whose scheme is threatened by his pursuit of her.

Now commanding the ferocious flagship of the Sphinx, Edith teams up with another wakeman to look into the disappearance of a close friend. As her frantic search draws her closer to the Black Trail—where hods rise in the dark and speak of the Hod King—she must choose whom to trust.

Everything boils down to one issue as Senlin and his group are drawn more and deeper into the Tower's schemes: Who is The Hod King?
