A little more than a year has passed since the Magi Master laid claim to the hand of the Elf King's granddaughter, upsetting both the population of the Elf King's kingdom and the Immortal Gilane, who now rules Silveria in his father's stead. A Crimson Warrior who shares a storied past with the Magi Master's wife is captured by the Immortal and tortured for information concerning both the Magi Master and his bride. His love for the Elf King's granddaughter keeps him from telling any part of what he knows to the Immortal. The forces of the Red Lady's and Green General's army has stationed itself within the rebuilding castle of Zareth, ancestral home of Lord Camaron's wife. They manage to distract the Immortal from any interest in the castle while they rebuild it by barely moving any men other than to show a flurry of laid back activity in rebuilding the castle. A daring move by the Magi Master brings the princess and her cousin back together within the walls of the rebuilt castle.

In a desperate bid to free those he loves from the reign of the Immortal, the Magi signs a bloodbond. The bloodbond is an ancient contract between the signee and the elves Lord God. While he knows that this choice may leave some questioning his tactic, the Magi knows that the only way to end the Immortal interference with the lives of those he loves more than his own life, he willingly signs his life away with the bloodbond. Knowing that the Immortal will never cease in his fascination with the Elf King and his family, the Magi resolves that the only method in which he can end the Immortal's tyranny over the elven kingdoms is to offer him what he desires the most - the identity of the Magi, himself. It is a desperate gamble, and one he does not take lightly. In an effort to prepare for the eventuality that lurks with the bloodbond, the Magi begins the harsh distancing of himself from those he needs the most.
