Mientras Alvin sigue buscando una inspiración para la mítica Ciudad de Cristal. Su esposa Peggy, que puede leer el “fuego del corazón”, viaja a la corte del rey Arturo de Inglaterra, exiliado en Charleston, ciudad que se ha convertido en un nuevo reino de Camelot. Peggy va allí con la intención de evitar el terrible porvenir que se prevé: la pavorosa guerra entre las naciones libres y los estados esclavistas. Peggy Guester is a Torch, able to see the fire burning in each person's heart. Her power is so great that she can follow the paths of each person's future and know their most intimate secrets. From the moment of Alvin's birth, when the Unmaker first strove to kill him, he has been protected by her. Now they are married, and Peggy is part of Alvin's heart as well as his life. But their destinies have torn them apart: Alvin has gone North to New England, where knacks are considered witchcraft and their use is punished with death; on a quest for world peace, Peggy has gone south to the British Crown Colonies and the court of King Arthur Stuart. There she waits in exile, her life at risk in the hands of Alvin's younger brother Calvin, who has no intentions of showing her any brotherly love. Peggy is a Torch, able to see the fire burning in each person's heart. From the moment of Alvin Maker's birth, when the Unmaker first strove to kill him, she has protected him. Now they are married. But Alvin's destiny has taken them on separate journeys. But only one slender path exists that leads through the bloodshed, and it is Peggy's quest to set the world on that path to peace.
