Official synopsis Publisher
After escaping the castle of ancient vampires with Magiere and Leesil, Wynn Hygeorht has returned to Calm Seatt, home of the Guild of Sagecraft, bearing texts supposedly penned by vampires from the time of the Forgotten History and the Greatr War. Her superiors seize both the ancient texts and her personal journals, dismissing her tales of the undead as delusional fancies. But the guild’s scholars have not dismissed the texts. Without Wynn’s consent, they begin sending the texts out to scriptoriums for copying. Then one night several pages disappear – and the two sages charged with conveying these pages disappear – and the two sages charged with conveying these pages are murdered. Suspicious of the guild, separated from the only friends she fully trusts, and convinced the Noble Dead are responsible for the killings, Wynn embarks on a quest to uncover the secrets of the texts, unaware of her allies from unexpected quarters …
