The last remnants of the Black Company, led by the White Rose, are hiding on the Plain of Fear from the plots of numerous enemies. Lady and the Taken are preparing to invade the plain in order to destroy what’s left of the rebels.
Meanwhile, in the tomb, the bloodthirsty Lord turns restlessly—he desperately wants to break free from the crypt in order to take revenge on his former lover, Lady.
The narration is carried out from the perspective of Kostoprav, the healer and chronicler of the Black Company.
