The Time of Cleansing fast approaches as the Motangans plant a spy deep within the ruling circle of the Sakovans. The mage-spy Aakuta is discovered on the Island of Darkness and condemned to death, while rebellious Khadoran lords conspire to overthrow Emperor Marak. Plotting from antiwar factions besets the elven nation, while the Jiadin of Fakara threaten to abandon their defensive positions.
