A vast windfleet, constructed in secret, is winging across the Pontic Sea. The Rondian Empire is divided and weak. Empress Lyra has barely survived a coup, triggered by a masked cabal whose members still remain concealed in the highest echelons of her court. Only Lyra's secret affinity to the heretical power of dwyma saved her - but that affinity is also her most dangerous weakness.

And a small group of dwymancers grope blindly for knowledge in a race against time before the masked Cabal strike again ER -
