In this fourth installment of the Ramlass of Aldaldia series, the lords of the Twenty United Lands converge on Aldaldia to meet with the queen of Amek to decide whether to initiate a trade agreement with the island kingdom. They gather as well to pass judgment on Ramlass' cousin, whose connivances the previous year bordered on treason. These events are enough to put Ramlass on edge, but when a stranger from Beth's world shows up as well, things spiral out of control.
Beth finds herself confronted by a dark reminder from her past, a former lover who used and betrayed her. She suspects that his presence will prove dangerous for this fragile world she's adopted as her own and knows that he would willingly destroy it just to strike at her. When he escapes the tower where Ramlass has imprisoned him for the duration of the council, Beth throws caution to the wind to pursue him and stop him before he can reach the portal and return to his world.
Ramlass finds himself caught in a maelstrom of situations, thinking that his wife has been abducted by the interloper. In the meanwhile, the representatives of the Twenty Lands continue to descend on Aldaldia with agendas of their own, as well as the entourage from Amek. Already preoccupied by his fear for Beth, Ramlass learns things he'd rather not know, dark secrets and betrayals in his own past.
