The Harts attend the Great Erdrejan Fayre in force, with Caine taking on partial guardianship of the tesseract during the games. Dolorous makes further attempts to strike out at the fae whilst on Haven but it ultimately put down and some of the damage is undone as the fae reperform the ritual that originally created Haven. The Silver King, however, is released. Meanwhile throughout Albion, nightmares continue to plague many, including the Court of Dreams who cannot sleep and although Weathereye attempts to drive them back through means of rite magic, his attempts are unsuccesful.
