Years have passed since the Six Duchies overcame the pirates of the Red Ships and their ruler, the Pale Lady. Peace has settled in the land. After all the hardships and trials, Fitz Cheval the Seer—the prince’s illegitimate son—married the one he had always loved, and they settled in a cozy estate called Willow Wood. Years flowed in calm and joy, and only one thing saddened Fitz: his friend the Jester returned to his distant, mysterious homeland and never sent a word.
But fate has its own plans for Fitz Cheval, and a chain of mysterious and sinister events turned out to be the harbinger of a new, great disaster.
