La princesa Skara ha sido testigo de cómo todo lo que amaba se convertía en sangre y cenizas. Al ser la única superviviente de su derrotada dinastía, deberá vencer la aflicción y el terror, afilar la mente y luchar por Throvenlandia como reina. El padre Yarvi ha recorrido un largo camino y ha pasado de esclavo tullido a poderoso clérigo. Ha conseguido que sus antiguos enemigos se vuelvan sus aliados y ha logrado la paz, aunque inestable. Pero ahora la abuela Wexen ha levantado el mayor ejército que se ha visto desde que los elfos se enfrentaron a Dios.

Por eso, en lugar de formarse como guerrero, al igual que el resto de varones de su estirpe, se ha dedicado a estudiar para convertirse en uno de los clérigos del reino. Sin embargo, en la víspera de la última prueba para ingresar en esta poderosa orden de sabios, a Yarvi le llega la noticia de que su padre y su hermano han sido asesinados. Él es el nuevo rey.
