Deep in despair over the betrayals of everyone he trusted, Domitris is now on the run with the very people who first deceived him. As he recovers from his injuries and unveils the secrets of Sinnan and his troupe, he is faced with a life entirely different from the one he knew.
On the verge of accepting this new life and identity, Domitris' failures come back to haunt him, and he realizes that he alone has a chance to save his country-but a person from the troupe's dark past returns, throwing another spoke in the wheel of their plans. With each step pushing them into greater peril, they have only each other to rely on as they face the rising threat of war.
