In this last chapter, we tie up some loose ends. Raven takes Amia to meet Mari and Myrn, and to see the lair of the Wyrm that she killed. We learn about Ghanatos's preoccupation with Ryantha. Raven and Amia glimpse Fermus. But how can Fermus be alive?

Amia leads Raven to the only person who can possibly save Castia: Orkandus. Together, they fly back to the cavern. Will they be in time?

The three evil wizards are dead, and all their creations have vanished. That leaves Raven and Castia in a giant cavern with ... nothing. How will they survive long enough to get out? Well, they're not alone (see chapter 21); there's another wizard firing lighting bolts at them. Kill or be killed? Or make friends? Raven and Castia face difficult decisions while trying to get back to the rocky, barren waste outside.

Amia tempts one of her uncles, but he refuses her. Raven follows Orvannon, wondering why he needs her to join him as he searches for the evil wizard Blehhm. They reach the rocky wastes where, according to Orkandus, Blehhm lives underground. Orvannon fears they are being followed. While he examines suspicious footprints, Raven disappears.

Orvannon, Orkandus and our other key players meet to decide how to battle the Warriors. Orkandus gives a field report on the enemy, and reveals that the Warriors are the creation of One-armed Blehhm. They plan a confrontation, aided by Orkandus's unspecified magic. The battle goes more or less as hoped, although Orvannon's bomb is a dud. Orkandus pays a great price for disrupting Blehhm's magic, and an old friend turns up. While the citizens of Shelton celebrate with a great bonfire, Orvannon...

Raven, Castia and Normian ask the Wizard Orkandus to come to Shelton's aid by attacking the Warriors. Orkandus is furious; he cannot kill innocent people! Raven persuades Orkandus that the Warriors are not people, so he can spell against them. As she frames her intricate argument, she earns Normian and Castia's enmity. The Willems enables Orkandus to pinpoint his foe, and he tells the companions that he will be up against a mightier wizard. But he agrees to help them and restores Raven's...

The full group meets with Orvannon. Raven also sees him in private and brings him up to date on her travels and discoveries. Orvannon arranges to make a primitive gunpowder bomb.

They brave great challenges to win an opportunity to wash awful odors off their bodies in the wizard's cellar.

Raven and her group kill more Warriors. They report Raven's skill at sensing them to Trixmurs, so she puts them on the dangerous Western wing. They go out with reinforcements, and at last they will find out what the Warriors are really doing.

Raven finds Normian, Castia and Daniel in the Southern Detail. She tells her friends what she has been doing, lying carefully to conceal the black powder she carries, and her special sense of smell. They tell her that they protect Shelton from Warriors, monstrous men who fight to the death. On her first field sortie, she's horribly surprised by the sight and smell of her first Warrior, and her friends begin to suspect that she has a unique ability to find more of them.

Raven enters the great city of Shelton. She finds a place to stay. She pays an adventurous visit to Gondia Alley, where she hopes to buy a knife. And she discovers the truth about "finger or Fenger".

Chattering about Ausland and Jomes, the four companions decide to go north. They wish to warn a man named Lanndys that Jomes wants to steal something from him. But they arrive too late, and crazy Lanndys gives them a very hard time, turning Raven's friends over to soldiers, and imprisoning Raven to further his own ends. Raven makes an excellent escape, but now: she's on her own.

Raven comes upon Daniel at Corpoth. He joins her on the way to Shelton. They meet up with Normian and Castia, and encounter more soldiers looking for the boot Raven stole. She tries to lie her way out of a tight spot, and Daniel comes to her rescue.
