Binglow is a young pig-troll (Paglot) of the Torry Mountains, who decides to follow the advice of the Black Dwarfs to join the resistance against the cannibal swine-dogs – Opules. Of course, it wasn't for free, as the Black Dwarfs were mining gold in the Torry catacombs. Such a tempting offer lured Binglow and his pig-troll friends to prepare for an ambush, but there was one little problem.
While scouting over Norwin, he finds more friends from Amber Heights, Kazool, and other nooks of the fantasy terrain, to form the alliance. Alas, revealing awkwardness and inability in expelling the stronger enemy. A brutal force was not the point of Norwin, the land that lay in prosperous glens of an upcoming disintegration. The magic was all forgotten, or hidden in the hands of those who had barely preserved it.
The team of young rebels, at last, had started noticing that many problems of their lands weren't coming just from the evil intruders of Shakalot, but from something else...
Master spies Seregil and Alec are no strangers to peril. Their assignments, nightrunning for wizards and nobles, have led them into many deadly situations. But sometimes the greatest danger can lurk beneath a Traitor's Moon...
Wounded heroes of a cataclysmic battle, Seregil and Alec have spent the past two years in self-imposed exile, far from their adopted homeland, Skala, and the bitter memories there. But as the war rages on, their time of peace is shattered by a desperate summons from Queen Idralain, asking them to aid her daughter on a mission to Aurënen, the very land from which Seregil was exiled in his youth.
Here, in this fabled realm of magic and honor, he must at last confront the demons of his dark past, even as Alec discovers an unimagined heritage. And caught between Skala's desperate need and the ancient intrigues of the Aurënfaie, they soon find themselves snared in a growing web of treachery and betrayal.
