The wrath of the Immortal King has been unleashed. Though his defeat at Tillysburg sent him into hiding, a lust for vengeance still boils within him as he waits for his moment to strike. All know he will soon make his move, but while King Stephan wages war against the treasonous Lord of Everlynn, Edward and his friends enjoy the brief period of peace before the approaching storm.

Yet when an attempt is made to take the life of the Pretender at his own wedding feast, Edward finds himself caught up once more in the fight to prevent Ardonn from being torn to pieces. Emrys will not yield until he has his crown. Fate has already chosen the victor. Only one question remains: has the Godspeaker chosen the right side?.
