Their daughter has been kidnapped by Fire Breath. Invesia's compassion for animals and Pavid's ability to solve mysteries has given the husband and wife team some small popularity. Between mysteries, classes and coddling animals, the two of them spend little time together and more time apart. With the abduction of Gerinda, the two of them will come together to save their daughter with the assistance of their loyal pets.

On the quest, they seek out an old man who mysteriously wanders from the southeast, they are chased by grotesque monsters whose motives are hostile but unknown, and they are stalked by a chirping creature. An old and ancient mystery awaits their discovery, pushing them farther than they wish to go. The Dead can walk. The Dead are a strange horror. Living corpses wander freely throughout the East, laboring to menial chores. No one knows why they have surfaced. Natives are frightened. Rumors spread about the returning of curses.
