Powerful beings from the fringes of Chaos attended to the world of Alorin. Fate bends to their will, and their will is set upon Alorin's destruction. Together in understanding the menace they pose, Alorin's Fifth Vestal, Björn val Gelderan, has launched a desperate plan to stop them: a "great game" performed upon the tapestry of mortal life. Now, in Pathways of Alir, Björn's Players have taken the field. Along the lush Caladrian coast of Agasan, the truthreader Tanis d'Giverny profits to the place of his labor and birth and finds secret and wonderful workings waiting for him. But the zanthyr Phaedor warns Tanis that ominous happenings lie in advance, and the lad soon wonders if even his mother's mysterious lessons will be adequate to keep him alive. Inside the dungeons of Tal'Shira, performed prisoner by the Adept Inquisitor Taliah hal'Jaitar, Prince Trell val Lorian is facing a life of enslavement. Only two paths lie open before him: one means a long time of torture struggling with Taliah's makes an attempt to break him; the other requires surrendering to her will. But can he really sacrifice everything he is to walk Taliah's course of twisted magic known as mor'alir? Inside the snow-bound Castle of Tyr'kharta, Prince Ean val Lorian must choose to save lots of his sibling Sebastian or his dedicated men. But to choose his men means giving Sebastian to a long time of enslavement; while rescuing Sebastian means abandoning his friends, and his honor along with them. Either decision will test Ean's newfound skills, as well as his conviction, for as the prince soon learns, once a man becomes a Player in the First Lord's game, not death can give reprieve.
