La cité de Windwir vient d'être anéantie, et avec elle la Grande Bibliothèque où reposait la mémoire du monde. L'onde de choc de cette catastrophe rompt les équilibres politiques et religieux des Terres Nommées, attise les convoitises, ravive les complots, met à mal les alliances. La guerre est inévitable.

Rudolfo le roi tsigane, seigneur des Neuf Maisons Sylvestres, est le premier sur les lieux et recueille dans les ruines un automate de métal. Agité de sanglots et rongé par la culpabilité, celui-ci s'accuse d être à l'origine du drame. Quel est son terrifiant secret ? A-t-il été manipulé ? Qui voulait la destruction de Windwir et pourquoi ?

Mais voilà que Neb, un jeune moine orphelin qui a assisté à l'horreur, commence à faire des rêves prophétiques...
