The Overlord of the Commonwealth is dead at the hands of his brother. With Anton Ashbourne murdered by Dalton's hand, the Commonwealth is thrown into a flux.

However, the arrival of Sinibad to the Haven forces Kaladin to call off the pursuit. Back on the ground, Ayr and Elanor are not yet absolved of their crimes. They are dragged before the Dragon Lords as the investigation into Dalton continues. Once again, Ayr and Elanor must rely on each other to survive whatever the Commonwealth throws at them.
