This is the second volume in Diana Wynn Jones' epic fantasy adventure series The Undying trilogy, now back in print. There have been decades of peace in Dalemark following the devastating Great War. But with the power of the immortal Gods truly divided between the northern and southern Courts, how long can peace last? Noah, son of Earl Michael of Lydiard, has gathered a secret band of lovers of the land, who hold out hope that the sixteenth birthday of Mithgarl, King of Chalmercia, will see the signing of a formal Peace Pact between the two warring factions. Meanwhile, Michael and Amalda are trapped in conspiracy as is Mithgari herself when her uncle, Earl Bardwyn, one of the greatest organizers of rebellion, holds a terrible demands to her. She is sent to South Dalemark to be his ward, and brought up under the tutelage of his own daughter Lady Marja, with a highly ambiguous view of war. Mitt, the son of the Earl of Hilmart, has taken part in his family's plot to oust Holan, but after being captured and threatened with execution, resolves to stay alive if it means having a chance of seeing his uncle returned to his old malign ways. He takes passage on a sea voyage but is caught hiding among shadows onboard a royal retinue bound for South Dalemark. Nearby travels Fenal, a boy of humble birth who has lived in seclusion, and the mysterious figure of Asmenet. Reports are that either she is an assassin or an exceptionally powerful seeress - but whatever her true nature is, she saves Mitt more than once, offering him encouragement and bringing him out of despair after after every challenge. When at last they reach the Southern city of Onofre, what sight awaits them there terrifies Mitt even more than he had been feared over the open sea.
