The roads temporarily separate Gwinden and Furia. The talkative elf is being hunted by hired killers; strange cultists of the Silent Ones want his help; and a new clan brings new troubles. Furia must fulfill the vow and restore the honor of Anselm—the dead paladin who settled inside her head. But besides him, a new uninvited guest has also found a place there. And he has his own plans for the fearless orc girl’s body.
