Erik von Zwartheide and Ru Avery were killed after they killed Eriks half brother, the Baron van Zwartheide. They flee to Krondor where they are soon captured by Duke Robert. They are sentenced to death but once upon a time, it appears to be a play. They get one more chance by being trained by Robert de Loungville for the 'Flaming Eagles' of Caelis, Tomas's son.
In a secret camp, outside of Krondor, they are trained to elite corps and gain experience in all kinds of fighting techniques. It is becoming increasingly clear to Erik and Ru that this is a special education and that it is ultimately not sure if they survive this whole adventure. After a short training, they will be shipped and start a three-month trip to Novindus. Once arrived, something seems to be wrong soon. An enormous army is steadily occupying the entire continent. The Emerald Queen stops by nothing, and with the help of the Panthatians and the Saasers they conquer one after another. But the goal of her conquest is a continent further down. Meanwhile, Miranda, a woman called by a witch, seeks Puc to invoke his help in order to turn it back.
