Isabella Montfort has lost the man she loves in the Gathandrian Mind Wars and is determined to accompany her brother, Johan, on his journey to the Lammas Lands in search for Simon.
However, she is secretly in league with the Mind Executioner and her mission is not to save the city but to kill Simon before he can reach it. She believes this betrayal of her own people and her own lands will bring back her loved one to her. The Mind Executioner has told her so and she must, for her own sanity, believe it.
Will her divided loyalties make her personal mission a success or a failure?
