Under the watchful eye of Burrich; old King Shrewd's Stablemaster; Fitz must learn to cast off the wild but carefree ways of the wolf and enter once more the human world: a world beset ever more viciously by the relentless Red Ship Raiders who are now left free to plunder any coastal town they please.
