Fergia Naren is in her repertoire: before you have time to look back, there is no trace of her. They say they ordered you to come to the palace, but for what? And what should the dragon Weyrish do? Fly to rescue the unlucky sorceress from the hands of the court sorcerers? There’s no need to rush, really, she can handle it herself...But help in finding Irrashya, the oldest living dragon, will definitely be needed. In the end, this is in the interests of Weirish himself: who, if not his great-grandmother, will teach how to remove the curse, or at least tell him what to do next? Only Irrashya is not there, but there is a half-wild dragon, a missing ship, who died a strange death northern witch...And all these traces lead to the one who awarded the Weirish family with a curse.
