'Mitt reached the top of the stairs, panting, and opened the door. "Oh, there you are," said the Countess. "We want you to kill someone."
After reaching North Dalemark, Mitt became disheartened. The North does not seem any freer than the Holand he left behind, as a fugitive accused of attempted murder. And now he is trapped by the command to kill someone he doesn't know, or else risk the lives of his friends. Forced to flee again, Mitt joins forces with Moril, the quiet but powerful musician, and Maewen—out of her time, but mysteriously destined to play a role in their mission. For the evil forces of the magician Kankredin are regrouping, and only the gifts of Adon—the ring, the sword, and the cup—can reunite Dalemark.
