The prince's sister is being offered to either one of two suitors, and they're in the fight to the death to keep her. The man who holds the strings is a king who claims she's his niece, but Argon knows the man is not their uncle! Kersta can't believe she and her companions have paid passage on the prince's ship to take them home and instead he's taken them to the Emerald Isle of Mists on a rescue mission and all because a soothsayer has predicted this will come to pass.
