Synopsis

Fess has lost his companions and has failed to gain the knowledge he sought at the Peak of Fates, so he turns south. He now pins his hopes on the grave of Salladorets, a legendary mage who bound himself to Darkness. Inquisitors led by Father Etlau follow close behind him, and Etlau has somehow gained the apparently impossible ability to cancel any magic. The combat mage Klara Hummel also pursues Fess, accompanied by the most powerful wizards of Evial. Alone and hunted from several sides, Fess has to decide whom he can still trust.

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
