Synopsis
Ryshad Tathel, a sworn swordsman in the household of Messire D'Olbriot, is drawn back into the mystery that first brought him and Livak together, as the search for a lost magical tradition takes them into the affairs of a rival power and forces Ryshad to weigh his sworn duty against the growing danger of what they are uncovering.

Notes
- From the series record (Tales of Einarinn): Core Canon is all five novels of the original sequence. A related novella (Turns & Chances, 2004) and a short-story collection (A Few Further Tales of Einarinn, 2012) set in the same continuity exist but were not admitted in this pass.
