The book begins right where The Sorcerer in the North left off.

With the overthrow of Castle Macindaw by Keren, Orman's traitorous cousin, Will Treaty needs to find men to help win back the crucial northern stronghold. Will seeks out a group of shipwrecked Skandians, whom he hires as mercenaries. Halt, Will's former mentor, and Crowley send Horace to help Will, and together, they manage to take prisoner MacHaddish, a Scotti general in league with Keren. They find out that Keren has made a deal with the Scotti and is allowing them access to Araluen's northern feifs in return for a portion of their plunder. Alyss is being held captive by Keren who has been mesmerising her and pumping her for information that may be of use to him. Will sends Alyss a stone to help thwart Keren's attempts to control Alyss' mind however, and she is able to deceive Keren for a while. Alyss and Will send messages using the code taught to all members of the Ranger Corps and Diplomatic Service. Will and his allies make a wheelbarrow-like machine to wheel over to the castle. It collapses, according to plan, and the Skandians pretend to run away. The castle defenders, murderers and bandits, quickly become uninterested in the strange machine and are easily distracted by a show of lights and strange hallucinations to the south. When all the focus is away from the west wall, Will and Horace, who had been under the machine, put ladders up onto the wall. The Skandians climb the ladders and quickly gain a foothold in the castle. Will runs to the central tower, carefully avoiding defenders' attacks, to rescue Alyss. There, Alyss is mesmerized by Keren. Keren tells her to kill Will if he hurts Keren in any way. Will doesn't want to shoot Alyss, but he knows that he has to kill Keren. Will tells Alyss "I love you", the spell is broken and Alyss is shocked at what she was about to do. A fight between Keren and Will ensues. With a smaller saxe knife, Will quickly is overpowered by Keren, until Alyss splashes acid into Keren's face, causing him to fall out the window to his death. Later, many soldiers of Norgate come to Macindaw to help defend and go to the north to turn back the Scotti invasion force, leaving the Skandians to defend Macindaw. Will goes back to Seacliff Fief and falls into a peaceful but unfulfilling lifestyle and becomes depressed until he receives a letter from Alyss which says that she loves him. Will hurriedly saddles Tug and begins the trek to Redmont.
