After the death of Prince Yan Zembitsky, his beloved Reyn (Reinevan) Jutta de Apolda is taken into the hands of the Inquisition. Reinevan desperately rushes to find her, though in Silesia he himself is being searched for— and not with the best intentions. In Wroclaw, he is tracked down; then, as a ransom, he is exchanged with a nobleman captured by the Hussites. He takes part in a raid on Silesia, and together with Urban Gorn reveals the secrets of Grellennort. At this time, Jutta is in the hands of the Inquisition.
