Lady Trent's discoveries in Akhien are the stuff of romantic legends and have catapulted her from academic obscurity to worldwide fame. The details of her private life during that time are equally well-known and have caused a stir beyond national borders. However, as is often the case in the career of this colorful woman, the story known to the public is far from complete. In the fourth volume of her memoirs, Lady Trent recounts how she came to be employed by the Scottish Royal Army, how foreign saboteurs put her life in danger, and how her determined quest for knowledge led her into the deepest chasms of the Draken's labyrinth, where a dragon's behavior inadvertently set the stage for her greatest achievement to date.
