The lady Evelyn is a High Priestess in the order of the Lord of the Light. She leads the revolution against the tyrannical reign of the High Baroness Elanore. Elanore has started making odium, a dead body imbued with enough of a spirit to follow orders and protect her borders. With the help of an anonymous source, Evelyn has been captured by the Scourge of the Palins, Orrin Blackhart.

Orrin has done some dreadful deeds in the name of his Baroness. His body is tired and his soul is weary of the evil he sees the Baroness turning to. When his men capture the High Priestess, he regrets the steps he will have to take.

At the last moment, Orrin receives word that the Baroness is dead. He and his men are all that remain. In exchange for the return of the Priestess, he negotiates a deal allowing his mens' lives.

The Chosen is about to pronounce the sentence of death when the Lady of Laughter lets Evelyn know that she needs to save his life.

Orrin is released with the task of killing all the remaining odium. Evelyn is banished by the Bishop of her order to a remote sanctuary to contemplate her sins. When she is attacked by odium, Orrin and her men are able to reach her just in time. What they learn will require that they work together to destroy the source of the odium.
