Either the fourth book of the Khaavren Romances, or the second volume of the third (The Viscount of Adrilankha) — whichever you prefer — this book chronicles the events occurring after the reappearance of Zerika the Fourth with the Orb from the Paths of the Dead. Continuing to follow several different major characters, the novel weaves together the various stories that led to the re-establishment of the Dragaeran Empire. See also Meta:The Lord of Castle Black.
