Following the cliffhanger ending of Blood of Amber, Merlin is stranded in surrealistic Alice in Wonderland-esque bar where the Mad Hatter serves cocktails. Managing to escape, Merlin meets new family members - one of whom is intent on killing him. As events escalates, Merlin finds himself surrounded by his worst enemies including his ex-girlfriend - back from the dead.

Merlin se cufundă într-o halucinație alături de Luke, fiecare putere folosită ori încercare de a găsi o logică pentru ce se întâmplă în jur dovedindu-se a fi o zbatere în nisipuri mișcătoare. Și ca tabloul să fie complet, o creatură malefică din Haos îi urmărește pe cei doi. Între timp, se bănuiește că unul din frații săi încearcă să îl asasineze. Însă cea mai surprinzătoare veste este legată de Julia, fosta sa iubită.

German edition - German review:

Der Roman beginnt mit einer Hommage an Lewis Carroll, in dessen Alice-Romanen Luke und Merlin zunächst gefangen sind, bevor es mit den Konflikten um den Hort der vier Welten, den rätselhaften Zauberer mit der Maske, Geistrad, Amber und die Höfe des Chaos weitergeht. Nach einigen diplomatischen Verwicklungen, in deren Verlauf neue Verwandte ins Spiel kommen, kommt es zum Kampf um den Hort der vier Welten und die Identität von Maske wird überraschend enthüllt...

Ein etwas strafferer Handlungsverlauf hätte dem Roman meines Erachtens nicht geschadet. Nach der zehnten Handlungsverzögerung durch neue Komplikationen wurde ich doch etwas ungeduldig.
