Hundreds in the Valley and in Craigston have died at the hands of ex-Arcadian guards who have made camp south of the Heights. They are the remnants of the evil Adrien hired and trained to be just as cold and ruthless as he was. Arryn has hunted them down, planning to end their terror. The problem? She's not the only one searching for them, and her problem has just gotten much bigger. Storm Raiders have found their way south and have joined with Esmerelda, the new leader of the ex-Arcadian army. Now, Arryn must find a way to put an end to all the destruction and help a strange, new race of people who have suffered great loss at the Raiders' hands.
