La guerra è cominciata. Arin ne è al centro a fianco a nuovi alleati dei quali non si può fidare per combattere contro l'impero. Anche se si è convinto di non amare più Kestrel, Arin non l'ha dimenticata, come non ha dimenticato chi è diventata: il tipo di persona che ha sempre disprezzato.

Nel gelido Nord, intanto, Kestrel è prigioniera in un brutale campo di lavoro.
