When eda finds the remaining members of the Moonless Host, now known as the thirteenth tribe, she sees a tenuous existence. eda hatches a plan to return to Sharakhai and free the asirim, the kings' powerful, immortal slaves. The kings, however, have sent their greatest tactician, the King of Swords, to bring eda to justice for her crimes. But the once-unified front of the kings is crumbling. The surviving kings vie quietly against one another, maneuvering for control over Sharakhai. eda hopes to use that to her advantage, but whom to trust? Any of them might betray her.
