With Diad shipwrecked on a deserted island and Alric on the run somewhere in the north, Bradwr solidifies his claim to the throne. That means eliminating all threats. The first to go is Guina. Though no longer a viable threat, she can’t remain in Mull and the former queen is forced to live on the handouts of friends far away from the capital. The second to go is Alric. Though he is now Bradwr’s son-in-law, Alric has more claim to the throne and despite the promise to Pavia of his safe return, Bradwr orders that his son-in-law have an unfortunate accident – a permanent one. Amidst the turmoil, Alexis manages to transgress Gambrian custom and finds herself at odds with the new King. Unwilling to obey, she escapes to the south, taking the nation’s Tarrac with her. But Bradwr has a blind spot and overlooked another’s ambition, someone who desperately wants to rule Gambria – alone. And she might just pull it off. All she’ll need to do is get rid of her husband and her father… Yet the one person they have dismissed as dead, the Ghost in the desert, is about to give them the surprise of their lives.

Duncan’s ambitions have been destroyed. Removed as High Priest, he and his pregnant lover have been exiled to the wastelands, a land so desolate that it’s merely a matter of days before their dried-up shriveled bodies are food for the jackals. Unable to save Duncan, Alexis retreats to the Tarrac pastures only to discover her adoptive father Menec has decided he’s had enough of palace intrigue and is off to the far north to find out what happened to his father all those years ago. Unfortunately, as the new Tarrac Master and nation’s Berserker, Alexis’ loyalty and obedience are demanded by the very man who sent Duncan to his death. However, things aren’t going too well for King Diad as he finally realizes he has run out of time and quickly discovers he doesn’t have the necessary forces to prevent his brother’s quest to rule Gambria. With his brother marching on Mull, Diad must find a way to save himself. Back in the Temple, life seems to have returned to the dark days when Vix was High Priest as Cattwg has finally achieved his greatest ambition. Yet there are many in the Temple who remember the vibrance of life during the brief time when Duncan was in charge. Though they are silent, their thoughts are the same – if only Duncan was still here.

When Caitrin learns the terrible secret of her past, she flees to Duncan with the hope he will understand, only to be frustrated when Brenna barges in unannounced. It is when she reveals her secret that they understand the full implication and what it means for the kingdom. In the south, Alexis learns that while she may be Cinoc Mar’s berserker, they don’t trust her. With Deryn off learning to be a Mage, Alexis realizes she has no friends in Cinoc Mar, that all the people she truly cares for are back in Mull. It’s when she discovers Cobhan’s battle plans for an attack on Gambria that she knows she must make a choice – either take up arms and fight against her battle-sisters in Gambria or escape from Cinoc Mar and take up arms against the very warriors she’s been training, the same warriors who have given her their faith and confidence. To the west, Gambria is now on high alert as Rugia has begun probing Gambria’s borders, searching for weaknesses in their defenses. The king must be told at once! Unfortunately, the king is no longer capable of leading the kingdom, and the commanderie lords know that Diad must be forced to step down. They must quickly choose another before it is too late. And therein lies the problem, for Alric is the heir apparent, but that means Pavia will be Queen.

The Mighty Shandar, the most powerful wizard the world has ever seen, returns to the Ununited Kingdoms. Clearly, he didn't solve the Dragon Problem, and must return his fee: eighteen dray-weights of gold. But the Mighty Shandar doesn't do refunds, and vows to eliminate the dragons - unless sixteen-year-old Jennifer Strange and her sidekicks from the Kazam house of enchantment can bring him the legendary jewel, The Eye of Zoltar. The only thing that stands in their way is a perilous journey with a 50% Fatality Index - through the Cambrian Empire to the Leviathan Graveyard, at the top of the deadly Cadair Idris mountain. And it's a quest that sees Jennifer fighting not just for her life, but for everything she knows and loves . . .
