Dexter Falk and Lara Sigurd, the striking priestess of Zoryn with snow-white hair, are savoring a rare moment of peace in Tallesin when the sky-father sends her an urgent vision. Trouble brews in Corfu, far across the Tiburn in South Gaugan, where the ruthless outcast Krugan leads a fanatical army bent on conquest.
