And now things are getting worse.  Suddenly, the torturous triangle is closing in on him like a three-sided vice. Day after day Dean is pummeled by a dizzying, soul-numbing succession of guilt, joy, tragedy and uncertainty.

And as close to going down as Dean is, he’s determined to keep swinging until the very end. The question is will it be enough?

New Adathen lies besieged. The Lord Protector is far away; Lady Tethys must command the fortress of the Women's Regiment. None but a Daishenic Knight might escape the siege alive and have the courage to return; Lady Tethys has only one such paladin. But the mystic laws of knighthood are clear: one may stand alone against all comers, and three may begin a sacred quest only that seven should complete it. Luned Adathen and Ailen Utryce take the quest, to ride with Sir Armitage in search of three noble barons to break the siege. The last of these three, they know, must be the cursed Baron Moruna.
