In the dangerous world beyond Galkis, Kerish is forced to depend on his soldier brother. The prince soon discovers something that will make their quest much more difficultif a sorcerer surrenders his key, he also gives up immortality. When the first sorcerer turns out to be a benevolent philosopher king, the brothers begin to question whether the cost of saving Galkis is too high.
