If you haven't read them, you may not want to read this description. The Banner is in disarray: Giorge is gone. Angus is missing. Hobart and Ortis are unsettled by recent events, but they desperately cling to hope as they search for him. Will they find him? And, if they do, will what they find be him? Or someone-something-else?Embril is devastated by what happened to Angus and is desperate to get him back-or to wreak vengeance on the thing that took him from her.
But how? She doesn't even know what it was, let alone its vulnerabilities. But she's a librarian, and she knows how to find out. And what of the others? Voltari's spell worked, and the curse is over, but his plans are unfolding in a way he could not have anticipated. Taro and Abner continue their journey through the Western Kingdoms, but will they reach Hellsbreath in time? And King Tyr's unease grows as he gathers information about the unseen enemy from the north that may not even be there.
And then there's Typhus and the little gold key he stole from Argyle that set everything in motion. Why is it so important? What does it open? Why does he want it back?
