La casata di Berethnet ha regnato sul Reginato di Inys per mille anni. Ora però sembra destinata a estinguersi: la regina Sabran Nona non si è ancora sposata, ma per proteggere il reame dovrà dare alla luce una figlia, un'erede. I tempi sono difficili, gli assassini si nascondono nell'ombra e i tagliagole inviati a ucciderla da misteriosi nemici si fanno sempre più vicini. A vegliare segretamente su Sabran c'è però Ead Duryan: non appartiene all'ambiente della corte e, anche se è stata istruita per diventare una perfetta dama di compagnia, è in realtà l'adepta di una società segreta e, grazie ai suoi incantesimi, protegge la sovrana. Ma la magia è ufficialmente proibita a Inys. Al di là dell'Abisso, in Oriente, Tané studia per diventare cavaliere di draghi sin da quando era bambina. Ma ora si trova a dover compiere una scelta che potrebbe cambiare per sempre la sua vita. In tutto ciò, mentre Oriente e Occidente, da tempo divisi, si ostinano a rifiutare un negoziato, le forze del caos si risvegliano dal loro lungo sonno.

Kontrolę nad nią sprawuje potężna, pochodząca z innego świata rasa Refaitów. Paige trafia pod protektorat tajemniczego Naczelnika – staje się on jej panem i trenerem, a zarazem jej naturalnym wrogiem.
