Ancar of Hardorn, who has long aspired to take control of the realm by whatever means at his power, is a menace to Valdemar and puts him in danger once again.
However, Ancar may succeed this time because he has launched a magical attack against Valdemar that hasn't been attempted in over 500 years—not since Vanyel, the previous Herald-Mage, defended the kingdom from the deadliest of sorceries. This is thanks to his ability to control the power of Mornelithe Falconsbane, the Dark Adept.
Furthermore, Queen Selenay, Herald-Princess Elspeth, and their people may soon find themselves helpless against an adversary equipped with spells that no one in Valdemar is knowledgeable enough to resist, as the old spell-generated defenses that formerly protected Valdemar are now crumbling.
Nevertheless, Elspeth discovers that she too has a mystery ally—a strong spirit from the long-forgotten past—as the long-dormant magic of Valdemar starts to emerge.
