I · The Main Plot
Where We Start
Per the wiki, the group sets out in Highvale to find the Coven's conclave. The blurb frames a new kind of war on Ithos, with Havath's capital threatened by a vengeful madman who has announced when he will destroy it.
Major Plot Points & Spoilers
- Per the blurb, Hugh and his friends must stop the Tongue Eater, but their carefully built web of lies is unravelling and even allies doubt them. Several factions want the weapon.
- Per the wiki, the archmages bring down a Havathi fortress with a rockslide, and the group joins the attack on Havath City.
- Per the wiki, the Last Echo goes off and Havath City's labyrinth is destroyed. The group captures Duarch Icola and frees Valia, and traps Alustin, whose Tongue Eater is revealed.
- Climax: per the wiki, Hugh climbs the Eye of Heliothrax to retrieve a resonator, which Mackerel eats. Heliothrax attacks the Coven's forces, and Kanderon arrives and kills it.
Where the Book Leaves Off
Per the wiki, Kanderon runs Alustin's trial and traps him in a starfire dome. Three months later Hugh and his friends are on Raigon, a planet in another universe, learning languages while Kanderon deals with problems on Anastis. The wiki says Alustin is still alive, spared with planar magic and made to look killed.
