Malheureusement, le prince ne se contente pas de rester en vie, il le pourchasse pour le remercier personnellement. Non seulement Sebastian est coincé avec l'affection indésirable du prince, mais il est aussi confronté à la preuve grandissante que la tentative d'assassinat a été orchestrée par quelqu'un appartenant au passé de son père. Lord Orwell est beaucoup de choses : voleur, menteur, ivrogne et un père horrible, mais Sebastian sait qu'il n'est pas un meurtrier. Afin de le prouver, il devra garder le prince en vie assez longtemps pour découvrir la vérité - une tâche rendue considérablement plus ardue, car le prince préfère le courtiser au lieu de veiller à sa propre survie. Par-dessus tout, Sebastian doit sauver la situation sans révéler ses pouvoirs magiques ni la véritable raison pour laquelle il dissimule son apparence. Sebastian n'a aucune intention de jouer au héros, mais celui qui sème la zizanie dans son pays, va devoir payer pour avoir détruit sa petite vie tranquille.

On Gor, there are numerous mercenary companies—some larger, some smaller—whose services may be purchased or bid upon for given periods of time.

The forces of Cos and Tyros, powerful maritime ubarates, and their allies have now beached upon the mainland and are utilizing the city of Torcodino as a repository for supplies, in preparation to march on a nigh-undefended and unprepared Ar. Should Ar fall, the disinterested tolerances and neutralities, and even the balance of power long sustained between Ar and the great maritime ubarates—things that made the existence of the independent companies possible—will vanish, a development threatening the very existence of the independent companies. But when Cabot arrives in Ar, it is a city rife with doubt, dissension, and treason. To whom shall the letters be delivered, and whom can he trust? Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire.
