While bracing for the inevitable confrontation with Nat, Mattie and Garin find more than just themselves caught in a web of their enemy's design. The true identities of all who had participated in the weaving are exposed, showing just how patient the vile creature had been with her plans. And though there seems to be little hope of victory, the couple will still do everything in their power to thwart her schemes.

While Garin hopes he can free the elves from Iantha's evil influence, Mattie finds herself stuck with a princely bodyguard. Though not appreciated at first, it quickly becomes apparent that Renard's presence in Crosshawk is a necessary evil. Sides are starting to form in regards to the coming conflict, altering many kinships during the process. No matter the eventual outcome, some things will never be the same.

While Mattie remains behind in Crosshawk, Garin is being led back to the Arduenna Kingdom and to memories of a difficult past. A separation made even more uncomfortable when various revelations come to light. And though an unexpected ally eventually comes to Garin's aid, the help might not be enough to thwart the plans Iantha has always had in mind for her youngest son.

Garin and Mattie finally arrive back in Crosshawk after their ordeals in the North, but relaxation is nowhere to be found. Various secrets swiftly become unraveled, ensuring that the couple doesn't have a moment of peace. In the end, Garin must make a heart-wrenching choice that could have an impact on every resident in the duchy, including Mattie.

Just as quiet rumors begin to whisper that an ancient evil might be arising, the Lord Protector of the kingdom goes missing. Four years later, Mathilda Hawksthorne finds herself leaving the safety of Crosshawk because events dictate the need for her to prove to king and country that she can carry on in her father's stead. After fighting for her inheritance, she is ordered to solve the mystery surrounding the disaster that had befallen the man's mission. While she already has companions willing to assist her, another is commanded to also help her with the task. Garin Von Bos, two parts honorable and one part jaded, does his best to keep her out of trouble. He manages to do so until they stumble upon a powerful gemstone known as the Dragon's Heart, which changes their lives forever.
