The man looks into Jedda's green eyes and at the tawny skin that betrays a hidden heritage. He makes a decision that will change a hungry boy's life forever.

Now a great power has hatched a mad scheme to re-create the goddess Tyche by reuniting Tymora and Beshaba, regardless of the potentially calamitous consequences.
