Angus Redbeard was nobody until a fateful mistake made him one of the most famous dwarves in history. Now he has a year to prove himself worthy of his new title - and become a hero.
Like ripples from a skipping stone on a still lake, Angus’ exploits reverberate, triggering dormant entities. Before long, fights become battles and battles become wars, and Angus finds himself defending people he never expected to know from long-latent threats roused by his own escapades.

Recovered from dire injuries sustained at the defense of the Aureate Holt, Angus turns his attention to his new business; manufacturing and installing the Pickled Marble that underpins the entirety of the canal city the Veyns.

The Dreamvine pods have a chance to save Angus or Johan, but not likely both. While Indaria keeps vigil over the healing heroes, Alene and Beatrice visit the remote Conemarra atoll where Alene was born. There we meet a mysterious people from far away, revealing the beginnings of more plots.
Meanwhile the Ivon moves aggressively to take back control of his nation, which is rapidly joining the self-sufficient Gymdeithas Fashnach movement. Before the end, we see whether the great Bedwyn Foresight still has the strategic magic that made him famous in centuries past.
All the while, Zonka plans her revenge, and takes drastic steps to rid the world of the dwarven menace.
