Chaol Westfall, paralysed after the events in Rifthold, travels with Nesryn Faliq to the shining Southern Continent city of Antica — to seek healing at the legendary Torre Cesme and to forge an alliance with the Khagan whose vast armies may be Erilea's last hope against Erawan. At the Torre, Chaol is assigned to Yrene Towers, a gifted healer who survived Adarlan's cruelty and wants nothing to do with one of its former commanders. As Yrene works to heal Chaol's body and the buried trauma beneath it, they uncover Valg dark magic threading through the Khagan's court — and a conspiracy that could doom the alliance before it begins.
