Krynnen had arrived in the summer, which had never been possible. He scorches the earth with the relentless rays of the sun. Cloud and rain do not give relief, and even the darkness of the night does not bring peace.

The gods are becoming more and more distant, more and more difficult to address. The prayers of the priests are not heard, the magic is confused. While chaos seems to reign in the land of Ansalon, the two cousins, Palin Majere, the Wizard, and Steel of the Sword, the Dark Knight find each other out of the inexhaustible will of fate. They are at war with themselves and with each other, but when they meet a mysterious girl, it turns out: it’s not just their own lives that are at stake.

All of Krynn's future fate is at stake.
