The books premise is: Honorable men from honorable families do not make for exciting stories, or do they? Greylen, Teller of Tales harbors suspicions. Talman, Megara's wizard foresees uncertain trouble as does 19-year-old Lance of Citheria, gifted with the sight. The 1000 year old Battle of the Sistra Gap, a rainless summer, and a new secret weapon ignite the prairie-men's wrath. Their souls envision a glorious hole in the Wall of Delmarath leading to victory. This vision adds fuel to Lance's lust for revenge, but the horror of it may aid the Delmarthian Lords in preventing certain destruction.
