Main article: The kitchen boy Simon muddles his way through the daily routines of castle drudgery in the last days of the old reign and the first few months afterward. As the new reign curdles into suspicion and discontent, the new ruler forms a supernatural alliance with the Sithi Storm-King. Simon is forced to flee into the wilderness, armed only with his mentor's biography of Prester John. As Osten Ard is torn apart, the narrative widens into other parts of the realm through secondary viewpoint characters such as Duke Isgrimnur of Rimmersgard; Maegwin, the daughter of the Hernystiri; and Tiamak, a scribe in the marshes of the distant South. Despite terror, starvation, and general bewilderment, Simon manages to find sanctuary with the help of various human and inhuman fellow-travelers. Frutiger Next Light Font on this page.
