And what of the third race, the Aelyr? Are they really as peaceable as the humans think they are?
It is up to Tanthe and to find out, after her small village is attacked by the Bhahradomen, Tanthe's sister Ysomir is captured and she must make an epic journey to the capital city, The Amber Ciatadel. Accompanied by Ysomir's lover and his brother, the truths they find there are not what they had been led to believe...
