  • Believing that the only way these weapons could be purchased was by smuggling undeclared, unusually valuable gemstones from the mines, Mags was sent to investigate, along with Lord Jorthun, Keira Tremainet and one of Mags' street boys, Coot. Nikolas was sent out to investigate the armories that produced the weaponry. Meanwhile, Amily took care of Tuck, Linden, and Mags' band of street children, one of whom began giving her lessons in roof-running. She also did her best to calm Rethwellan by way of their Ambassador, delaying any action on Rethwellan's part to join Menmellith in a war declaration. Eventually, the scheme is traced back to a man calling himself "General Thallan" of the Valdemaran Guard. He had subverted an entire Guard outpost, convincing them that supporting the Menmellith rebellion was in the best interests of protecting Valdemar. When the rebellious Astanifandal became king in Menmellith, he would be beholden to Valdemar, eventually signing on as a client state and paving the way to annexation. That would give Valdemar a second, flanking border on its hereditary enemy, Karse. As the net to capture Thallan began to close, he kidnapped Mags and Amily and retreated to his stronghold, an abandoned Guard fortress. He deduced that their state wedding was another tactic to buy King Kiril more time, so he kidnapped them to prevent it. Thallan also planned to assassinate the Companions in order to remove the Heralds from the equation. Using their Gifts, some surprises Tuck had made and worked into their clothing, and a bit of unexpected aid from Healer Cuburn, Mags and Amily escaped the dungeon. They convinced the Guardsmen to stop following the madness of Thallan, put down their arms, and let Prince Sedric and his army in the front gate. Thallan was captured and turned over to Menmellith for justice. The tale ended with Mags and Amily's state wedding.
