Næste morgen breder chokket sig over landsbyen: Sally er blevet myrdet. Og det bliver selvfølgelig kriminalkomisær Adam Dalgliesh fra Scotland Yard, der skal rede trådene ud.

As the Liche Lord and his horde of Feeders relentlessly pursue him, there is little time for Nameless to settle old scores, mend bridges, and pray that the survivors of his butchery at Arx Gravis can forgive him just enough for him to save them.
