Gorgons and basilisks and dwarves! Oh, my! At long last, Enya finally gets what she wants and returns home with her brothers. But no sooner do they arrive before there is trouble yet again. The Black Matron is back with a vengeance, hell bent on getting the lamp for Thero. They are only protected for so long by Nole's wish, but that protection might not last for as long as they would like it to. Despite their best efforts, even their best laid plans can go awry. Even so, Enya never expects to end up where she does, landing herself in hot water when she ends up in the middle of a quarrel she never knew existed, let alone thought she would be involved with. As they fight their way back to each other, they tread the path heading straight for the Black Matron. Desperate times cause Xorphiul to make a wish with far-reaching and unexpected consequences, far beyond anything any of them could imagine even in their wildest and most twisted of dreams. Sometimes beasts are friendly and friends are beastly, and the question becomes a difficult one: who are the real monsters? Who is the wolf hiding amongst the sheep?
