What she does "not" know is that the Lakewalkers, as a whole, are engaged in a perilous campaign against inhuman and immortal magical entities known as "malices," creatures that suck the life out of all they encounter, and turn men and animals into their minions.
Fawn knows the stories about the Lake-walkers: they are necromancers they practice black sorcery they have no permanent homes and own only the clothes they wear and the weapons-mysterious knives made of human bone-they carry. Uncertain about her future and the troubles she carries, Fawn stops for a drink of water at a roadside inn, where she encounters a patrol of Lakewalkers, enigmatic soldier-sorcerers from the woodland culture to the north.
Young Fawn Bluefield has fled her family's farm hoping to find work in the city of Glassforge.
