Synopsis
In the final volume of the Traitor Spy trilogy, Sonea learns that the Sachakan king has taken her son Lorkin captive and is pressuring him to betray his allies among the Traitors, leaving her to prepare for difficult negotiations to secure his freedom. In Sachaka, Dannyl must navigate an increasingly complicated relationship with his contact Achati, uncertain how far he can trust him, while political tensions in the region continue to mount. Back in Imardin, Sonea's old friend Cery goes into hiding as the mysterious criminal known as the Rogue continues his bid to seize control of the city's underworld, and a young magician named Lilia takes on the task of protecting him, while a Black Magician named Kallen is assigned to stop the threat despite doubts about his commitment to the task.
