Isranon's army winters at the estate of Lord Edvarde near Ildyrsetts. Isranon needs mages for his war against the hellgod, Galee, and must convince the high mages to aid his cause. His apprentices, Stygean and Jingen compete for the affections of Chinisi, niece of senior mage, Geoffry Cordwainer. It swiftly escalates from words to violence, threatening Isranon's alliance with the mages.
