The war of souls ended in Krynn's world, and Mina buried the mortal Takhisis, Queen of Darkness, and with her a piece of her own soul. However, she soon returns to new faith when she falls in love with Chemosh, the handsome, attractive god of death, and becomes his follower.

Then he heads to the head of an evil vampire sect, and the devilish cult of bloodsuckers sweeps Krynnen with reality. However, two heroes appear, two mortals — a warrior monk who has made a vow to the evil goddess of the sea, and a kangaroo who can speak to the souls of the dead. They both have to find Mina, break the oath to the god of death, and stop the dark disciples.

Margaret Weis' new book continues the story of Mina, learned from the War of Souls, in the first years of Krynn's latest period, the Age of Mortals
