Exiled from his house and held in the impenetrable prison of Dreadhold, Gaven's mind is lost in memories of the Prophecy—both his own memories and those of another mind trapped in his own. When a daring band of adventurers breaks Gaven and former general Haldren ir'Brassek out of Dreadhold, Gaven is forced to determine his own role in the Prophecy he remembers—a role that others would like to claim.
