For the first time in a long time, Halrin Kentar finds himself alone. With Laurel visiting the capital on an extended trip, he’s been left in charge of tending to the homestead. It gives him time for training and reflection, and of course, time to heal.

Unfortunately, time waits for no man. The arrival of a mysterious minstrel heralds the dawning of a new adventure. It’s up to Hal and Karnas to put a stop to a plot that threatens the whole of the realm, assuming they can survive for long enough against the Empress’s assassins.
