Rhapsody, the main character, is a Namer, a profession that includes passing down the history and lore of the people and the land.

A Namer has incredible power because when they speak (or sing) they describe the very nature or essence of a person or a thing.

When Rhapsody meets up with her two future companions she accidentally uses her Naming power to rename The Brother, a ruthless assassin, to "Achmed The Snake."

This accident forces Rhapsody to join Achmed and his companion who are on the run from an ancient and dangerous foe, a F'Dor demon.

Achmed and Grunthor continue their plans to re-build Ylorc while Rhapsody lives with Ashe in Haguefort, unknown that an enemy thought dead has arisen to wreak vengeance.
