To save her kingdom, Princess Arista runs a desperate gamble when she defies her brother and hires Royce and Hadrian to perform a dangerous mission behind the enemy's lines. As the power of the Nyphron Empire grows, so does Royce's suspicion that the wizard Esrahaddon is using the thieves as pawns in his own shadowy struggle for power.

An interesting continuation of Hadrian and Royce's adventures that started in Theft of Swords. This installment was particulary interesting because it brought the larger issues concerning the heir of Novron and the development of the new Empire into the forefront of the story. It was also enjoyable to see the furhter characterisations of characters that we were introduced to in the first novel.
