"Oh, there you are," said the Countess. "We want you to kill someone."' Since his arrival in the North of Dalemark Mitt has become disillusioned. The North seems no more free than the Holand he fled, a fugitive accused of attempted murder. And now he is trapped by the order to kill someone he doesn't know or else risk the lives of his friends.

For the evil powers of the mage Kankredin are re-assembling, and only the Adon's gifts โ the ring, sword and cup โ can once more unit Dalemark.
