Following the assassination of the General of All Blades by Erzi, his own son, in The Stone Heart, Kaidu and Rat had to find shelter in the Nameless City, while Kaidu's father, a Dao general named Andren, barely escaped the purge with his life. The monastery was burned down, and the monks' secret, the power the ancients used to blow a tunnel through the mountain, fell into Erzi's hands.
As a Yisun force moves on the city, Erzi is desperate to unleash the explosive recipe contained in the book, and plans on deploying it against them. His faithful servant, Mura, however, plans to release the secret formula to everyone so that the entire world becomes engulfed in the flames of war. Thinking they have some time, Kai and Rat come up with a plan to infiltrate the palace and steal the book back, but unfortunately they are too late, and Napatha weapons are used against the first wave of attackers.
Meanwhile, Andren and the monk Joah are captured by Dao forces led by Andren's wife Kata. He convinces her of the need to conclude an alliance with the besieging Yisun forces to prevent further bloodshed in the Nameless City and to implement the Council of Nations he had suggested in the Nameless City.
With two forces facing each other, and with the prospect of destruction, can Kai and Rat prevent the city's past secret from being used to destroy it? Read the exciting conclusion to the Nameless City series!
