While raising his army in Zal Ricio 'el Nria, Rafen begins to notice some alarming developments in a previous injury from Nazt's representative, the invincible Lashki Mirah. Rafen discovers this old wound is really a curse. The black stain on his left hand will spread through his body, choking his veins, robbing him of the ability to perform the supernatural, and eventually making it impossible to breathe. To stop it, Rafen must destroy the instrument that gave him this wound: the Lashki's left hand. If he does not succeed, he will perish and Nazt will triumph. He is forced to seek help from an unlikely ally, Ivan, the daughter of the Pirate King Sirius Jones. Rafen killed Sirius Jones several years ago, but he withholds this information from Ivan to buy himself more time. Ivan agrees to help him hold the curse at bay for as long as possible. However, any help that she gives him is temporary, and her thin loyalty is stretched to breaking point the more she learns about Rafen. How far will Rafen go to survive?
