Kludd is dead. Nyra, his mate, is determined that her hatchling, Nyroc, will fulfill his father's destiny: the vicious oppression of all the owl kingdoms. So Nyra continues to feed false stories of glory and and a certin hate for Soren into Nyroc's mind. But Nyroc is a poor student of evil.

He must summon all his courage to defy his destiny -- and the embodiment of evil that is his mother.
