Aria begins to amass wealth in preparation for her eventual doom and also tries to keep all of her various plans in motion. From her knowledge of the future, she knows how trading will be monopolized, so she decides to capitalize on the luxury good of sugar as a way to make money but also hurt the nobility. But first, she makes some money quickly at the casino that is owned by the Crown Prince. Coincidentally, she gets an invite from Lord Asher to attend a secret society type think tank where she expressed her belief that the casino was a dangerous investment for the Prince. At this and several other meetings, Lord Asher continues to confound Aria and refuse to give up his true identity.

After Khlugus’ heroics from volume 1, Commander E.K.O. is down for the moment, leaving Warty Morda able to fill a bit of the power void. Dizzy, Dana Deathly, and the others on the pirate ship must set down on the planet belonging to the Mothonians to try to get supplies, and the find a villainous sax-playing Chris Killian terrorizing the locals. 
In a peaceful village on an island, the Bao’ré people have a long tradition of martial arts that prioritize nonviolence and peace over killing and shows of strength. Kelí, the younger son of the king, is anxiously awaiting the spring festival and his next opportunity to participate in the village’s ceremony to prove he is ready to become a man. This will allow him to begin in earnest his study and practice of Katafali, the sacred martial art, and get him that much closer to his lifelong dream of becoming a member of the King’s guard. But his emotions and impatience lead to serious problems and grave punishments.
