Having got out of the captive situation, Silence is in training to become the first female mage. You don't get something for nothing though, as in return for the training, Silence has to agree to take her mentor to Earth. No-one knows where this is, and only an old map may show them the way.

These leads to them being on the run, Star Wars style, and having to sneak into a seat of power for the Hegemony to get what they need.
