After being 'saved' by Queen Alieta of Ardour, Elowen finds herself trapped behind enemy lines. Struggling with the supposed loss of Lilja. Elowen has resolved herself to find the cause and the cure for the Blight. Even if that means completing the mission alone.

Elowen knows she won't be able to find the cause of the blight if she doesn't get close to Alieta. Both behind the walls she keeps up for "work" and personal.

Every single person she meets in Alieta's kingdom could be a part of the grand scheme of knocking Valdis off the map. Elowen can't trust anyone. Elowen can only hope she has the strength to push through the loneliness in the court of Ardour.

Will Lilja and the rest of the team resurface? Or is Elowen doomed to finish this adventure alone?
