De deur knalde opnieuw, waarna de stem werd afgekapt, maar het kwaad was al geschied. De heldere gestalte van Yorindesarinen zakte weer weg in de herinnering en Malian was plotseling geen held meer uit liederen en verhalen, maar een halfwassen meisje in groezelige kleren. In het verre noorden van de wereld Haarth ligt de bergketen die wordt aangeduid als de Muur van de Nacht. Deze natuurlijke verdedigingslinie wordt bewaakt door de negen Huizen van de Derai. De Muur vormt het laatste bastion tussen de volkeren van Haarth en de Zwerm der Duisternis, de eeuwenlange aartsvijanden van de Derai die zich ophouden aan de andere kant van de Muur. Nu maakt de Zwerm der Duisternis zich opnieuw op voor een grootscheepse aanval op de Muur van de Nacht en de negen Huizen. Zal Malian, het Kind van de Nacht, in staat zijn het aanstormende tij te keren?
