When Camilla receives a crypitc note from a stranger, she has to face the truth about her brother: He's on the run. He's in grave danger. And e's being accused of a hideous crime.
Camilla would bet her life that Tuor is innocent and that someone has set him up, but who? As Tuor's demise draws near, will Camilla find relief in learning the truth surrounding her brother's crim? Or will she accept that he must be sacrificed for the good of many?
