Zarak is getting strange letters from his father, so he and Elspeth plan to go where Zarak’s father is to find out what has been happening. But when they get there they find the town is closed as none of the residents are allowed to leave. However Elspeth and Zarak manage to get inside this closed town with the help of their friend Brydda.

They then find Zarak’s father and the person he is staying with and they find out what has been happening and more. As Elspeth is told by the Councilman that he heard that there is a planned invasion of Hedra and Elspeth decides that this invasion of Hedra has to be stopped. But then she is handed over to Malik and it turns out that he was the traitor. But someone is on her side and helps her to escape Malik and instead of Elspeth being Malik’s prisoner Malik is now a prisoner himself.

I also think that Malik was made into a null by Ariel as when they got someone to enter his mind the person who attempted this died and Malik died also.

Elspeth then finds herself on The Stormdancer as she attempts to do what Zarak suggested but it doesn’t go according to plan, and she finds herself taken prisoner again.

But luckily Ariel isn’t there on Herder Isle when Elspeth is there.

And she discovers that the other misfits didn’t die when a ship got sunk, as they told her that they were on The Stormdancer too and they were  disguised as Hedra. Elspeth and the other misfits then get help from the shadows, and others and they band together and attempt to take over Herder Isle.

Then as that was happening Elspeth discovers that Ariel is planning to affect the entire West Coast with a disease. And she finds out that this disease is being carried by Domick and she does everything she can to stop it from happening.
