Publisher's summary
Part 1
Following the invasion of Tanto, things have changed little at the Traveller's Rest Inn in the capital, Tantillion. The barmaid, Kitty, is still abusing customers and starting fights, and the regulars are still selflessly preventing the collapse of the bar. However, when a cloaked stranger arrives, apparently unaware of the invasion, Kitty's curiosity is piqued. Meanwhile at his new lodgings in the castle, Ambassador Durian receives an unwelcome visitor of his own.
Part 2
Kitty visits Professor Cantha at her secret hideout in the forest, but theirs are not the only footsteps on the fallen leaves of Tanto. Meanwhile, Ambassador Durian receives some interesting information, and a promotion...
Part 3
Durian makes Professor Cantha an offer she can't refuse. The Minister creates a miraculous doorway in the forest, and passes through it onto the Frost Bridge between worlds. He tells Kitty to go home, which she of course does immediately with a skip and a polite farewell. On Tanto, a Sezian patrol interrogating villagers comes up against a new enemy, one that does not go on foot...
Plot
Part 1
On the invaded island nation of Tanto, some individuals are chatting in a pub. It is revealed that all of the scientists of Tanto have been carted off by the Suzuans. A stranger enters, and enquires about Professor Cantha, a professor. He is escorted off by the barmaid, Kitty, a foundling, and the owner, Porcher. However, Kitty appears to know something about Cantha.
In the capital, Tantillan, an assistant of ambassador Durian informs him that the Witch Prime and Lord Rathen are coming. He orders a big procession, and when the Witch Prime arrives, he publicly congratulates Durian on it. However, he is very much not happy that Durian has conquered Tanto, as he was only meant to travel to Tanto on a diplomatic mission, saying that they have been brought to the brink of war, and that the invasion was not Durian's choice to make. The Witch Prime is very angry at Durian, but Rathen pretends to convince the Witch Prime to kill him, before convincing him to let him live, and make him governor of Tanto, by saying that he will get lots of publicity.
Porcher heads to bed, and Kitty tells him that she is going to bed as well, but secretly heads out into the forest to meet with Cantha, a scientist who has escaped into the forest. She tells Kitty that it is too dangerous to be meeting her, and that Kitty should not risk her life for her. Just then, the mysterious stranger from earlier enters.
