Cuando el rey Artimañas lo convoca a la corte, Traspie emprende una nueva vida llena de intrigas palaciegas. A las ordenes del rey, inicia su formacion en las artes del asesinato... y tambien en las de la Habilidad, una magia reservada al linaje real con la que es posible comunicarse mediante la mente, manipular los pensamientos ajenos e incluso sembrar ideas extrañas.
