In the years since the wizards' disastrous conclave, the people of the islands had lived in an uneasy peace. During that time, Yve had been content merely to watch, and to learn. There was so much of the world - and of magic - that she did not yet understand.

When Ferragamo and the Servants were faced with the awful choice - domination by Brogar's foul sorcerer, or the possibility of their world ending, they knew what had to be done. But they could not do it alone.

So now it was Yve's turn. With her world crumbling, she must face her destiny, must help the Servants as they desperately try to vanquish for ever the evil that has overturned their lives. At last, Yve must follow the path laid down countless years before, and try to guide her world back to a safe haven.
