After the false king captures Elrom, Kharee and Foss must team up with a spy to free him. The urgency to return to the East increases when the flaming crown in the sky declares the One King dead and Foss disappears.
On the run from the false king's men, Kharee gambles on an old legend and strikes a deal with the ghost crew of a derelict pirate ship to get back to East Besamie. But to get to Tarna'Hala, where Kharee hopes to find her mother's earrings, they'll have to survive a dragon-riding assassin.
Touch of Insanity is a complete series with cliffhangers that require the books to be read in order.
