   Summary

   The year is 3E 429, two years after the Nerevarine Ascension. When Vivec, Divayth Fyr, the last Dwemer and a witch from the Iliac Bay go missing on the same night, it falls to Morgiah, accidentally-alienated daughter of Barenziah and sister of King Helseth of Morrowind, to investigate. But what does all this have to do with her brother, newly crowned and long estranged? And how does it lead back to her connection with another, far stranger king, back from the mists of Daggerfall?
