Synopsis: Now an adult shaman, Annat wants only to work as a musician, and enjoy the social season with her girlfriend. Instead she is despatched north against the mediaeval armies of the Duc de Malarat, who wants to subjugate the whole country. Malarat possesses a weapon that can kill the most powerful of shamans. While Annat's father leads his followers into enemy territory, Annat must defend the city of Yonar from an army wielding not only cannon and archers, but demons and plagues. With the shamans standing against them, the tyrant Duc de Malarat and his allies want more than victory: they want Annat and all shamans destroyed.
