Wynn intends to restore the ancient texts that she brought from the castle to Outland. But she has only one hint about the location: from one of the dwarves she heard about "Walkers through stone" who may be involved. And she goes to the mountain fortress of the dwarves, in search of this unknown sect. With two wayward allies as guides - the vampire Cheyne Andrascho and the elf dog Shadow, she must enter these depths. And delve into religion, oral literature, tradition and customs. Due to the obsession that the texts caused, she finds even more mysteries and questions... along with the enemy she thought was destroyed.
