[edit] Plot Summary

Hawk Rhiscarlan attempts to gain favor with Andreus of Senna Lirwan by succeeding where Andreus was foiled in Wren to the Rescue. Tyron is deployed in the guise of a dog in order to gain reconnaissance among the nobles of Cantrimoor which might reveal who is behind the trouble, but is captured by Hawk. During this time Wren ventures to the records center for the Sradi border guards who found her in a brigand-devastated trade caravan as a very young child. Wren is accompanied by Connor Shaltar for protection in case of any trouble, though that idea was hatched by Lila and Queen Arstan of Mildrith to allow Connor to avoid confinement by his uncle Fortin Rismordith to a particular vacation house as punishment for his tendency to socialize with stage performers.
