Ian Greyrawk has returned to his ancestral home to quell an unvoiced longing and discovers that the people of Cresida wish him to reclaim his family’s place in the northern marches. The local strongman, Belderag, killed Greyrawk’s grandfather and took claim to the Greyrawk land. He will not permit Greyrawk to return and dilute his control over north Cresida. The northern area of Cresida was once home to an ancient race called Celaeri, who ruled the land and enslaved humans. Their shadows are rising again—and they claim Greyrawk to be a descendant. Where should Greyrawk’s loyalty lie? The Celaeri return to Cresida like a wind, cold and biting, indifferent to the suffering of humans. The legendary Talos Company mercenaries have crossed the sea from Anavar to Amloth once more, but instead of Eslenda they go east into Cresida to assist Ian Greyrawk, a descendant of Loric Greyrawk, who is half Celaeri and a member of the company.
