Will and Evanlynn have been taken to Skandia as prisoners, and become bound to Erack as slaves.
Meanwhile, Halt has decided that his promise to Will to rescue him is the most important thing in his life; he gets himself banished from the kingdom and is stripped of his Ranger title. Thankfully, the king, being merciful, only decides the banishment is for one year. Horace, still distressed that his friend hasn't been found, tags along.
After Erack sells Will and Evanlynn, Will becomes addicted to Warmweed, a strange plant that keeps the slaves working hard just for small doses. Evanlynn learns of what it does to a person after too long, and knows that they have to escape before Will dies.
Erack, who has always felt bad for Will after noting his courage at the bridge, helps Will and Evanlynn escape.
This book was not my favorite. Again, the wordiness of the author made the story drag just a bit, drawing out small things that didn't need attention brought to them. Each was a bit more complete, whereas this one was a bit just in the middle of other stories. I guess that is how the series goes, but because not a lot happened in the book, it didn't seem like there was as much to tell.
