Publisher's summary

Fuladh, Roshan, and their unlikely allies are put to the ultimate test to save Fuladh's homeland from the grip of a tyrant! Physical strength alone won't be enough when going head-to-head with a powerful man driven mad by delusions, so Fuladh and his allies will have to bring something more to the fight.

Plot summary

Many years ago in Aksum

Nibris and Fuladh are outside training an eagle, being surprised when it strikes down near them, killing a snake that was poised to attack them from behind.

Abuna Yemata

Fuladh and Endubis fight in the burning church, with the general claiming he would rather let the kingdom burn down and be reborn than see it fall to the slavers and invaders. Nibris manages to get up and stab Endubis, only to be injured back and thrown from the mountain. Despite bleeding, the general continues his advance towards Fuladh.

In the mountains below, Roshan leads the others to freedom, when a scream from above pulls her attention, allowing her to catch the falling Nibris and save him from certain death. The group continue their descent, defeating the general's guards, with Roshan also noticing a group with Caliphate weapons in the distance.

Fuladh escapes from Endubis, going up the church towards the eagle nursery Nibris had kept, hiding in the shadows and finding a forgotten hatchling there. Endubis arrives, raving to the Hidden One to convert to the "new old ways" and join his forces. This draws Fuladh out from his hiding spot for a final confrontation. As the pair clash, Memnon sweeps down and attacks Endubis, putting an end to the threat, while Fuladh passes out from his injuries soon after.

Sometime later, Fuladh awakens surrounded by men dressed as Caliphate soldiers, though Roshan quickly calms him down. She explains that Dagnajan and his men had defeated the slavers that had taken their families and used their uniforms to raid other Caliphate strongholds, freeing others along the way and arriving at Abuna Yemata just in time to help Roshan and Igzi defeat the last of Endubis' soldiers. Nibris asks Fuladh to come home and lead them in rebuilding Aksum, but Fuladh declines, saying that although it was good to fight for his homeland, he has made a commitment to the Hidden Ones and the Aksumite people will have to face their challenges together. The next morning, Fuladh and Roshan set off to return to the Caliphate, taking with them the rescued hatchling, which Fuladh intends to train to be the Brotherhood's eyes in the sky.

Years later, 861 CE

Roshan and Fuladh oversee a young Basim Ibn Ishaq's training at Alamut.
