Elaine and Johan are preparing to leave Golden City, with Daria and
the travellers, in order to search for the Witch-King. The Grand
Sorceress instructs Inquisitor Cass to help them. But before Elaine
can leave she is arrested by two Inquisitors on the orders of the
Emperor. When she resists she is hit with a powerful spell that
forces her to concentrate all her efforts on protecting her mind
from its intrusion. Taken to the palace she finds that the Grand
Sorceress has been removed and the Throne has accepted an heir to
the Empire. Realising this has to be the work of the Witch-King,
Elaine must defeat the spell that is eating away at her defences if
she is to escape and destroy him. Meanwhile, Johan, Daria and Cass
are trying to find a way to get to Elaine and break her out of the
cell in which she is being held. The Golden City is still widely
devastated from the disastrous battle for power that followed the
death of the previous Grand Sorcerer. The recent escalating
breakdown of social order can only be made worse by the return of
an Emperor and the imposition of martial law. The Privy Councillors
and Heads of the Great Houses succumb to the power of the new
Emperor, as he amasses a huge army. It is up to Elaine and her
friends, with some unexpected help, to prevent an all-out war. The
third instalment in the Bookworm series, The Best Laid Plans
follows on immediately from the events in The Very Ugly Duckling,
with Elaine and Johan joined by other favourite characters as they
try to track down the Witch-King.
