Xrn kidnaps Ryoka to have a conversation. Saliss gets a summons for a military operation, and hides in Erin's inn, talking to Bird, Numbtongue, and Erin, because he doesn't want to go. He's convinced to go anyway by General Shirka, and Chaldion bribes him into the attack on the Hivelands by offering to take six names of Turnscales off wanted lists and redirect the Watch's efforts for three months. Saliss, Mivifa of Feathers (Oteslia's Named Adventurer), Zeter (Manus' Named Adventurer), and a bunch of soldiers attack the Antinium hives and damage the Armored Queen's "Steelclad" project. Saliss fights Wrymvr and Klbktch, finding himself unable to kill Wrymvr. Klbktch gets chopped in half by Wrymvr on purpose, so the Queens can rebuild him. Saliss returns home and announces that he's going to make the antidote for the Strategists.

Meanwhile, the Couriers from first landing (including Mihaela Godfrey) attempt to deliver the cure to Tyrion and run into the top Assassins from the Guild. Lacel the Leaper and a Drake courier is killed, Mihaela is severely injured, and the delivery fails.

Ryoka takes Mrsha on a bike ride. Xrn has a conversation with Ryoka, in which she presses Ryoka for actual aid from the self-professed "ally" of the Antinium. Ryoka tells her Wistram is spying on the Queens through their scrying mirrors, and gives Xrn microscopes and knowledge of how to sterilize an area of bacteria (which mess with the Antinium Queens' experiments).

Numbtongue and Mrsha get into an argument over the laptop, and Lyonette is pulled into it, ending in a physical altercation in Invrisil. Zevara attempts to arrest the Gentlemen Callers, but Erin helps them escape. The Players of Celum finally convince Erin to attend their play in Invrisil, all the Earthers and mages from the Inn, as well as Ryoka, Fierre, Salamani, Numbtongue, Lyonette, Mrsha, and a lot of other friends of the inn (including Xrn in a human disguise). The Players set up a huge parade to celebrate, and the attention starts to make Erin feel socially awkward. At the Djinni's Spoon, Barelle the Bard tries to perform a song about her deeds, but she faints. She goes on a walk to clear her head and calm down, gets lost in the bad area of Invrisil, tries to stop a mugging, and finds some of the Brothers of Serendipitous Meetings. She follows them back to their hideout and chats with them, Wilovan, and Ratici, then invites them to come see the play with her. Afterwards, she returns to the Wandering Inn to discover that Badarrow and Snapjaw are there.

Saliss promises to defend Invrisil's guild from [Assassins] for two hours, awaiting a runner to deliver the cure. Ryoka prepares to accept, and her friends try to stop her. Ryoka convinces her friends one-by-one not to stop her. Erin resolves to help Ryoka get out of the city, and Snapjaw asks Erin not to ask Numbtongue and Badarrow for help.

Many runners and Ryoka's friends join her plan to make a distraction while she sneaks into the Runner's Guild. Her plan immediately falls apart and she's captured, but Erin leads multiple armies into Invrisil through her door, including part of Pallass' 1st Army, Liscor's guard, human soldiers from the Lords she has trade deals with, and an army of Antinium lead by Xrn. Ryoka gets rescued, then grabs the cure from the Guild, only to discover once she's out of the city that the vial is just water. Saliss meets her with the real cure, along with Maviola, and they begin running for House Veltras. Maviola makes an appeal on the scrying orb, and a bunch of people start wrecking the assassins to help them escape (the Silver Swords and Lord Gralton). Belavierr, watching on the scrying orb, sends a rain of needles after Maviola. Ryoka, Maviola, and Saliss take cover, then transform into horses once the scrying spell cuts out.

Fierre drinks the blood of [Assassins] in Invrisil, and gains [Assassin] levels for the first time.

Ryoka, Maviola, and Saliss have four hours of reprive from their "transform into horses" gambit. As they're found again, and start fighting through more waves of [Assassins] while running, the Singer of Terandria co-opts the scrying broadcast to sing to them, granting them benefits from her Skills. Chaldion starts using his Skills on Saliss, and the King of Destruction grants them a [Greater Blessing of Armor] from afar. People from all over start using Skills and magic to influence the run. Archmage Viltach launches lightning at the assassins. When the [Assassins] cut the trio of runners off at a bridge, guarded by thousands more [Assassins] (a third of all the assassins on the continent), Saliss stays behind to take them all on, detonates all his potions, and uses his capstone skill: [Disable Friendly Fire].

Gresaria Wellfar attacks the Guild of Assassins in First Landing, and is immediately killed. The rest of the Five Families, [Sailors], etc, all attack and blow up their headquarters. Maviola El turns back to stop the [Assassins] using her new level 50 skill, trapping them in a burning forest filled with fire elementals. Only four Faces manage to escape, chasing Ryoka. Ryoka dons a glider and flies away, but the [Assassins] shoot at her and one of them is a Garuda. Mavika and Alevica come to help, delaying the [Assassins], and Ryoka summons Typhoon Erannda, killing one of the assassins in her escape. When she lands, three [Assassins] catch up to her. Tritel, Salamani, and Hawk intercept the assassins, killing one. Another fled. The third, Ferin, killed Tritel and Ci before running after Ryoka again. Tritel used a Skill to sacrifice himself to save Ci.

Ferin shoots Ryoka in the back with a crossbow, and Tyron Veltras arrives to take the cure. Ryoka is rushed to a [Healer], uncertain if she will survive, and Ferin is killed by Tyrion. Maviola El and Saliss both survived. Mihaela Godfrey declares Ryoka is a Courier.
