Narrated by Silvane, an apprentice to the wizard Herloff, this tale of heroics and foolishness relates a mission to eliminate a renegade witch, Rhavinia. On their way as they gather an unlikely company of heroes, they realise the degree of the complexity of their task. Essentially the future of the kingdom rests on their success or failure and Rhavinia is tougher than anyone dared to dream. As Silvane narrates, we have insights about the world of wizards that is aloof from the ordinary world, and the difficulties that arise when the two worlds cross. All this and more, Silvane relates their exciting encounters and events that constantly dog their progress.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Vesperos knew he was in for a hard life, and that it would begin before he was ready. In slavery to piracy and all that he endures, he is determined to maintain his integrity - whatever the cost. Meanwhile his best friend is in tow with a wizard desperately trying to track him down and unbeknown to them all another party seeks his life. A friend in need is a friend indeed, but does Vesperos actually need his friends?
