After the end of the first book, the two main characters escape from black cliff and are on the run. Elias has to fight his mother, the comodant, and she poisons him with an incurable poison. Laia thinks of a way to lessen the effects of the poison but not cure it. To get the tellis extract (semi-cure), she has to go to Raider's Roost, be caught by a bounty hunter, and lead them back to Elias.
