Possible Assassins: One with a wound in his hand, one with a scar across his cheek and one who wore a hood over his face. Kathryn and Macaith take the north trail following the clues in Michael's journal hoping it held the names of his killers. They had learnt in Ral Printer, a small town north of Centra, of men that had also ridden north on the morning of Michael's death. One with a wound in his hand, one with a scar across his cheek and one who wore a hood over his face, but they were not in Tralia now. Were these the assassins? So, the parents of the Tralian Ambassador continued to follow their son's trail as they head into the Northern Mountains to find more answers. Is there still a threat to Tralia!? Kathryn must find out, not only to find her son's killers, but to find out what was behind all the attacks. In order to do that, she would go beyond the Pale to get answers. Who will survive the clues they follow? Who will they find Beyond the Pale?
