In Damara, Artemis and Jarlaxle battle and kill a lich named Herminicle in an animated tower while barely escaping with their lives. The companions then travel to Vaasa at the request of their employers, Tazmikella and Ilnezhara. They seek artifacts of the infamous lich Zhengyi. A half-orc named Arrayan finds her way to an ancient tome of Zhengyi and unwittingly starts a self-creating castle, one similar to Zhengyi's former Castle Perilous, to come into existence.

The group consists of Artemis, Jarlaxle, Arrayan, Olgerkhan, Mariabronne, Ellery Dragonsbane, Canthan, Athrogate, and Pratcus, as well as a few others. The group battles gargoyles, golems, mummies, and animated skeletons in an attempt to keep the heart of the castle, the tome.
