  "Magic is an age-old force; as powerful as the wind, as quick as lightning and as deadly as any crossbow, and all should respect it at all times. It is neither good nor evil, only the user is either. They should use it for good to help all of man, elf, dwarven and any other kind, yet as we all know, more use it for the good of the dark one and themselves. Forty years almost to the date after the death of the Hakorns, Kathryn finds her eldest child dead, in a locked room and a vial of poison sitting on the chest near his body, but his parents, his wife and his King, swears it was not suicide! Then how come he is dead? Kathryn and Macaith have to become detectives to find out why. Was Tralia threatened again? Was the family? What had their son gotten himself into that cost him his life?

  Possible Assassins: One with a wound in his hand, one with a scar across his cheek and one who wore a hood over his face. Kathryn and Macaith take the north trail following the clues in Michael's journal hoping it held the names of his killers. They had learnt in Ral Printer, a small town north of Centra, of men that had also ridden north on the morning of Michael's death. One with a wound in his hand, one with a scar across his cheek and one who wore a hood over his face, but they were not in Tralia now. Were these the assassins? So, the parents of the Tralian Ambassador continued to follow their son's trail as they head into the Northern Mountains to find more answers. Is there still a threat to Tralia!? Kathryn must find out, not only to find her son's killers, but to find out what was behind all the attacks. In order to do that, she would go beyond the Pale to get answers. Who will survive the clues they follow? Who will they find Beyond the Pale?

  Back in the temple, the enemy attacks, but Kathryn and her companions defend themselves easily. Afterwards, while it snows, Kathryn reads more of Blane's story as well as her son's journal. She's learning fast, but she is sure there is more to this than a bid to take over the throne. As the weather clears, they head deeper towards the northern mountains to find answers following the trail of the wounded man, Scarface and the hooded man, which leads them deep into the icy world of Raabaal. There something creeps. The power that both she and Michael felt is stronger and darker here, but is it Medrith's? The enemy awaits and Kathryn won't be denied!
