Sonea knew the other novices in the Magicians' Guild all came from noble families and that, as a former slum-dweller, she could expect to be treated as an outsider, but she little realised the level of animosity she would face from her fellow students. The sons and daughters of the most powerful families in the realm, her classmates seem determined to see her fail - even if they have to engineer her failure themselves. Dannyl and Rothen offer Sonea what help they can, but when someone starts spreading malicious rumours about her, Akkarin, The High Lord, steps in to put a stop to it. But Sonea may soon wish she was still enduring the taunts of her peers, for in accepting the protection of the guild's high lord she may have embraced a far bleaker fate. It seems that Akkarin harbours a secret that is far darker than his magician's robes. Taken into his confidence, Sonea must keep the truth hidden. But by doing so, is she showing loyalty to the head of her guild, or making the worst mistake of her life?

Como hijo del difunto Gran Lord Akkarin, salvador de la ciudad, y de Sonea, célebre maga negra de orígenes humildes, Lorkin quiere estar a la altura de este legado de heroísmo y aventuras, y dejar su huella en el mundo. Por eso se presenta voluntario para asistir a Dannyl en su nuevo cargo de embajador del Gremio en Sachaka, un país que sigue gobernado por crueles magos negros. Cuando llega la noticia de que Lorkin ha desaparecido, Sonea está ansiosa por salir en su búsqueda, pero sabe que abandonar la ciudad le costaría el destierro de por vida. Además, su amigo Cery necesita ayuda. Casi todos los miembros de su familia han sido víctimas de asesinatos, los últimos de una oleada de muertes que asola a los líderes de los Ladrones. Y pronto Cery descubre indicios de que el misterioso Cazaladrones recurre a la magia.
