The King of the Silver River has tasked Penderrin with rescuing his aunt, Grianne, the Ard Rhys of the Druid order, from her exile in the perilous dimension known as the Forbidding. Accompanied by the noble dwarf Tagwen and the elven princess Khyber Elessedil, Penderrin embarks on this dangerous mission amid a brutal war between the Federation and the Free-born. However, the ruthless Druid Shadea a'Ru, who has usurped Grianne's position, relentlessly pursues them with her assassins. To breach the Forbidding, Penderrin has already paid a heavy price, and the stakes rise as the Free-born forces face annihilation from the Federation's lethal new weapon.
