Torrullin's sanctuary is invaded by a desperate call through the spaces. Someone has stolen the Xenian seer Lowen Dalrish, and he suspects it is Agnimus, the draithen who nearly annihilated his world and then vanished without a trace. It is time for Elixir to stand forth. Time demands it of him. Meanwhile three Valla heirs await the rising of the Valleur Throne; only one of them will be chosen as Vallorin. When a prophecy is uncovered about Three Kingdoms and rumours of an army secretly building to prevent it, Torrullin realises the three heirs to the Throne are in danger, for the warmongers believe he will carve out three kingdoms. Only one Valla can be Vallorin, after all. It is time to deploy Nemesis, the mighty blade forged of two, of both darkness and light. As activity becomes frenetic in the spaces, the dark man of Torrullin's visions and dreams stirs and becomes aware of the newness in the ether. He now seeks release from his long incarceration. He knows how to find the missing seer, but more than that, he is the catalyst to releasing long-suppressed memory. It is time for Torrullin's Nemesis to stand forth. His name is Elianas.
