À la tête de son nouveau régiment des Elfes de Fer, Konowa part en quête de la Bibliothèque Perdue de Kaman Rhal dans le désert de l'Hasshugeb. Mais là aussi, la révolte contre l'Empire gronde chaque jour davantage. Konowa et ses compagnons s'enfoncent au coeur des sables, affligés d'une nouvelle malédiction : les morts marchent dans leurs pas...
Et si la Souveraine des Ombres n'était pas la seule adversaire à prendre en compte ?
Et si Konowa allait devoir, une fois encore, remettre sa loyauté en question ?
Konowa Vif Dragon, ancien commandant des Elfes de Fer, a été banni voilà un an pour avoir assassiné le vice-roi d'Elfkyna. C'est plus amer que jamais qu'il se voit rappelé par l'Empire et confier une mission des plus périlleuses. L'Etoile de Sillra, un artefact légendaire, est censée s'être écrasée à Luuguth Jor, un fort abandonné perdu au milieu de nulle part. Et nombreux sont ceux qui la convoitent : l'Empire bien sûr, mais aussi les rebelles elfkynans, qui rêvent de se libérer du joug de l'autorité impériale. Sans oublier la Souveraine des Ombres, sorcière-elfe honnie de tous dont l'influence s'étend peu à peu sur le monde. Mais Konowa devra avant tout prendre garde à ses propres aspirations...
