Sorey meets the emperor of Rolance and enters the city of Pendrago. He must find the cause of the unending rain, but the price for the solution is greater than expected.

The city of Ladylake is again threatened by tornados. It will be days before Sorey can return, so Alisha must do the best she can to minimize the damage.

Alisha's mentor Maltran is captured, an obvious trap for luring Alisha into Ladylake. Knowing this, Alisha and her soldiers still infiltrate the city.
