Exiled for his part in kidnapping a queen and the murder of her servant, Jonderill travels north to find the magician who gave him his grey robe. However, the roads hold many dangers for a lone traveller and Jonderill, once again, finds himself the property of another man. Fedara, the goddess of magic, intervenes, but her concern is not what it seems, and her words are full of deceit.
Things are changing in the six kingdoms. In the north there is a new king who cares only for wealth, whilst in the south, the Regent plots to takes his nephew's crown. With King Sarrat dead, slain by a demon, the rebelsmake their move to put the true queen on Leersland's throne, but Borman has his eyes on that throne too. Only beautiful, peaceful Vinmore remains untouched by the darkness which sweeps the land, but that cannot last.
As Jonderill searches for his illusive magic and tries to discover his hidden past, his life is shaped by the loyalty of his friends as well as by those who would use him to further their own ambitions. Disillusioned by betrayal and the misuse of a white robe's magic, Jonderill travels south where he learns what true evil really is.
