„Se, hvad du kan gøre for staklen, men det skal gå hurtigt,“ fik Tessia ordre til. Tessia trak på sin magi, lukkede mandens sprængte blodårer og føjede hans brækkede knogler sammen. Men allerede inden hun var færdig, vidste hun at det var håbløst. Magien kunne ikke binde flænset væv sammen længe nok til at helingsprocessen satte ind. Det må kunne lade sig gøre, men på en anden måde, sagde Tessia til sig selv ... Tessia er fanget i konflikten mellem Takados ikaner og troldmændene fra Kyralia. Hvor end hun kommer frem er der død og ødelæggelse.
