That the party that has taken Evanlyn are called the Temujai who are warriors and it is discovered that they are planning an invasion on Skandia. The three also come across Erak who is secretly on their side.

They also manage to get Evanlyn back from the Temujai, and as they discovered what the Temujai planned to do Will, Halt, Horace, and Evanlyn offer their help to the Skandians to fight the Temujai.

But then Evanlyn’s true identity is discovered. As she is really the king of Araluen daughter, and the current Oberjarl has sworn some sort of oath against her father, and his relatives in revenge for the death of his son. However, Evanlyn uncovers a plot and it is decided that nothing is to be done about the king’s daughter until the war with the Temujai is over.
