Twins Borric and Erland, known for their carefree nature, face a turning point in their lives when their father, Prince Arutha of Krondor, names Borric the Royal Heir, bypassing himself due to the lack of male heirs. With Erland also tasked with significant responsibilities, Arutha sends them as ambassadors to Kesh, the most feared nation, to meet the powerful Queen at her Seventy-fifth Jubilee Anniversary. However, before they depart Krondor, an assassination attempt on Borric is thwarted, indicating rising tensions. Despite the threat of war, Arutha remains resolute, understanding the importance of their mission for peace. Their journey takes a dark turn when their party is ambushed, leading to Borric's disappearance and presumed death. This leaves Erland to confront the treacherous court intrigues of Kesh alone, consumed by grief and rage. Unbeknownst to him, Borric has survived and must navigate a strange land with a bounty on his head, relying on his wits to return to his brother. As they traverse their separate paths toward maturity and duty, the stakes grow higher, with war looming as those opposed to peace become increasingly bold.
