Part of Series
Fjerde del starter med album 40 og vil foreløbig vare til og med album 46. Efter at Ilder og Rayek efter deres endelige opgør begraver stridsøksen, er Ilder parat til at undsætte en elver, som tilsyneladende befinder sig under ørkenen, der omgiver Sorgs Ende. Men da Ilder vil gøre Paladset klar, viser det sig, at Vindpust er sluppet fri og har taget magten over det. Rayek og Venka forsøger at hindre hende i at stikke af med Paladset - med det resultat, at det styrter ned og knuses midt i menneskenes land, hvor nogle krigere i djunnen Grohmuls brød finner skårene... Spejder forstår forbløffet, at der er tale om Genkendelse, da han med magt må bortføre Tylla fra skovhuggeren, som hun - i strid med Ulverytternes lov - har opsøgt for at lære sig menneskenes sprog. Imens dukker en mystisk kvindeskikkelse op en stormfuld nat hos Grohmul Djunn...
