These four interrelated novellas set in the Hainish world begin with an assassination attempt. The planned victim, Gyhard, who has attained his own brand of immortality, steals Bannon's body. Vree accepts her brother's kigh into her body which the two unhappily share as they go on a quest with Gyhard to retrieve the prince from the hands of an old man who knows how to sing the fifth quarter and animate the dead.
