In the ancient and diverse city of Tyria, capitol city of Athesia, many religions and cults have established a place among the people, but one looms to threaten them all. From the onset of their arrival in Tyria, the Vasi citizens and soldiers are challenged by what seems to be an overt prejudice against them. Someone high up in the rule of the realm has apparently arranged for the Vasi soldiers and tradesman to be assigned to less than habitable housing accommodations. Though prepared for less than preferential treatment, they come to the realization they will have much to overcome to find a place in this city. When spies from an unknown realm are discovered by Hawke and Bret, and Syporian children begin to disappear, a hunt by the Athesian military for the hiding place of the spies and their leader changes the perception the Athesians have had of the Vasi soldiers and citizens. Hawke and Captain Rush Soren, already assigned to seek information about the mystery realm that provided ships to Louis of Calara, embark on a joint mission to Little Syporia, the most dangerous section of the city of Tyria, and return with information that alerts the Athesian military leaders to the presence of a long-forgotten cult that thrives on forbidden sacrifices. The threat unites the Athesian, Syporian, Mederan, and Vasi in a quest to prevent an ancient and bloodthirsty evil expelled a thousand years ago from regaining a foothold in Athesia.
