When Berndt Hambrow discovered that Joris Lilwin had appointed him as executor of his last wishes, he had no doubt that there would be some surprises in store for him. What he discovered, astonished his expectations. Karalintze Thwaite, one of the top agents of the Errdian Secret Guild, is just one of the secrets that Joris Lilwin failed to tell Berndt about. Berndt passes on a letter written by Joris shortly before his death in which he asks Kara to investigate the son he has only just learned his sister bore when she was across as a teenager.

For someone of Karalintze’s calibre, it seems like an easy task but there are complications and Kara only just escapes with her life...
