Darken Rahl takes an unlikely captive in a violent attempt to get his hands on the Three Boxes of Orden – the final keys he needs to unlock the power of total world domination. Meanwhile, time is running out for Kahlan and Zedd as they fall victim to a horrific plague unleashed by Rahl.

A horse rides into town carrying a wounded stranger, whose last words accuse the Rey family of lies and murder. As Montoya and his men try to piece the puzzle together, the Queen turns to Andreo, the son of Claudio and Paloma, suspecting that he's hiding something. When mother and father accuse their own son, she knows without a doubt that its time for the Queen of Swords to ride to his rescue.
