Once Bevan proves his intentions to rid the world of Pel Blagden, Cuin comes round and they agree to put aside their petty differences. They recover the legendary magical sword of Hau Ferddas and must destroy Corradel Orre, the cauldron of Pel Blagden's power, but doing so will also doom Bevan to a mortal life. Bevan is betrayed by Pryce Dacarin who craves the fabled sword Hau Ferddas and he kills the white hart that Bevan's life is tied to.
