When a merchant ship from Pandahem is captured Prescot learns that Vitridia, the female pirate he once served with in Swordships of Scorpio is still alive and active but that the fight against Hamal is becoming ever more desperate.
He parts from Delia, now pregnant with their second set of twins and heads for Tomboram to assist Kov Pando.
He learns more about the purpose of the Volgendrin but than, ready to depart, is recognised by Ornol ham Feoste, Kov of Apulad, as Chaadur who the former blames for the murder of his wife.
Condemned to death and torture Prescot is spared when he is recognised by the former Kov of Falinur, Naghan Furtway.
Instead he is taken to the Queen who decides to drag him through the streets during her coronation parade as Empress, tied to a Calsany, a donkey-like animal.
Back in the dungeons Prescot is freed by the Kataki Strom Rosil, under orders of Phu-si-Yantong.
