The unexpected arrival of horned warriors at Fort Leren is all that saves the Tyrish troops from the Sigurdian seige. But the Kelds have no interest in joining forces with Tyr-they only intervened to cause pain to their old foe. While it is a disappointing decision, it opens Freya's eyes to other paths of resistance. Tyr might have no allies, but Sigurd has many enemies! For older teen audiences.
