With the dark servant S'Tyll on the mend, High Priest S'Rak and Captain Jisten think they have all the time in the world to hunt the slave trainer Hasaviz and punish him for his crimes. They couldn't be more mistaken, for their real enemy is now in play, seeking to stop the Victory Prophecy by making it impossible for S'Rak to give Prince Jethain an heir. Will S'Rak and Jisten be able to withstand the onslaught of an enraged goddess? Will S'Tyll, still recovering from a heart attack, be able to assist them at all, or will they be on their own against impossible odds?
