Aron of Darien, raised in exile after his homeland is conquered by a treacherous warlord, makes his way in the world on the strength of his wits and skill with a sword. Both are sorely tested when he is impressed into the service of the Earl of Nandor to rescue his heir from captivity in the fortress of Sarazan. The rescue goes awry. Aron and his companions are betrayed and must flee for their lives. Pursued by steel and magic, they find new friends and old enemies on the road that leads, after many turns, to the city of the High King. There Aron must face his father's murderer before risking everything in a fight to the death with the deadliest swordsman in the kingdom.

Tragedy strikes Nathan Telford, and once again, he must set a course into Pruessen-controlled space on a desperate rescue mission. In a light freighter, he stands little chance of fighting his way out of trouble, but his obsession pushes him ever closer to his goal. His nemesis, Saxon, is aware of his presence and is waiting for him. With deliberate intent, he has set an elegant trap for Nathan to walk into.

Are we mere puppets, slaves to the will of others? Can we ever say that we are creatures of free will, acting according to our desires and not of those around us? Looking beyond our existence, there are those beings that dwell beneath the surface of our planet, ancient entities twisted in their resentment of our freedoms, that would mean us harm. Theirs is an influence ancient in its origin, born from evil and cruel intent. Their will presses upon us, calling out to our most primal instincts. We, oblivious, heed their call.
