Blacktalon have laid an ambush.
Across the mountains, in the lands of the Xandim Horse-folk, a Seer receives a vision on the
winds. Chiamh, the despised, reclusive Windeye of the Xandim, discovers powers of evil reaching
out from the north toward two Bright Ones beyond the mountains. At the risk of destroying his
tribe, he knows he must aid them in their fight against darkness.
The Xandim are shape-shifters, existing in either human or equine form. They capture Parric and
his companions and sentence them to death. Chiamh rescues them with the help of Basileus, a
MoldanЧthe living mind and soul of the Wynd-veil mountain.
Vannor, now settled with his rebels in the Vale, under D'ar-van's unseen guidance, hears that his
daughter Zanna has left the Nightrunner hideout and returned to Nexis. He sets off to search for
her with the veteran warrior Hargorn, but is captured by Miathan.
Aurian's band reach the Tower of Incondor and are attacked by Blacktalon's Skyfolk and Harihn's
troops. Shia, at the Mage's urging, flees with the Staff of Earth. Yazour, though wounded,
escapes. Aurian is imprisoned in the tower to await the birth of her son, whom Miathan plans to
kill. Anvar is taken to the Skyfolk city of Aerillia as a hostage. Yazour is found by Schian-nath,
a Xandim outlaw exiled from his homeland with his sister Iscalda, condemned by the Herdlord
Phalihas to exist solely

in her equine shape: a white mare. Using the Staff to communicate, Shia convinces Schiannath to
help the wounded warrior.
Raven is taken back to Aerillia. Blacktalon plans to wed her to consolidate his power, but first
he destroys her wings. She attempts to kill herself, but her life is saved by the physician Elster
and her apprentice Cygnus, formerly a secret supporter of the High Priest.
In Nexis, Hargorn is wounded by the troops of Pendral, a cruel, corrupt merchant, and is rescued
by Jarvas, who runs a refuge for destitute Nexians. Hargom is cared for by the physician Benziorn
and his assistant Emmie, who finds two straysЧ a starving white dog and a boy, Grince. She takes
them back to the refuge, along with the dog's litter of puppies.
To reach Aerillia, Shia must cross the lands of her own people. Helped by the old cat Hreeza and
the young male Khanu, she wins her way through. The two others join her.
Remana, mother of Yanis, the Nightrunner leader, goes with her son and Zanna's friend Tarnal to
Nexis, to find Van-nor and his daughter. Seeking the help of Jarvas, they row up-river by night

and make their way into Nexis via the sewers, emerging to find Jarvas's refuge under attack by
Pendral's soldiers. Remana helps the refugees escape through the sewers, taking them back to the
smuggler hideout at Wyvernesse, but Grince is left behind. Benziom remains to search for him,
while Yanis and Tarnal stay in Nexis to find Zanna.
Vannor is captured by Miathan and imprisoned within the Mages' Tower. He discovers that Zanna is
already there, in the guise of Eliseth's maid.
At the request of the wounded Yazour, Schiannath climbs the Tower of Incondor and finds Aurian.
She refuses to be rescued while Anvar is a hostage, but agrees to signal the Xandim for his
assistance when her child is born.
Chiamh has rescued Panic and his companions, but Meiriel, now dangerously insane, has vanished
into the mountains. To gain the help of the Xandim, Panic challenges Phalihas for leadership or
the tribe and becomes Herdlord. The Windeye traps Phalihas in his equine form, and acting on
Chiamh's Vision, Parric takes a troop of warriors to Aurian's rescue.
Anvar has been imprisoned by the Skyfolk in a cave high on a cliff. Shia makes a near-impossible
