After they marry, Alise discovers that Hest is cruel and selfish, and that his charming manners were all a facade. He shows no real interest in his wife, except that he wishes her to bear him children. But Alise never gets pregnant, and after several years of marriage, she demands that she travel to the [[Rain Wilds]], in order to study the dragons first hand. Hest is forced to allow her to go, but he sends his secretary, and Alise's childhood friend, [[Sedric Meldar]], to travel with her as a chaperon.
When they reach [[Trehaug]], Alise signs a contract at the [[Rain Wilds Wild Trader Council]] to help escort the dragons upriver, to the city of [[Kelsingra]]. Sedric is forced to accompany her, and they travel onboard the Tarman, with [[Leftrin]] as captain. From their first meeting, Alise and Leftrin are mutually attracted to each other, however they resist their feelings as best they can.
The dragon [[Sintara]] takes a liking to Alise, due to her respectful and flattering way of speaking with her. This fustrates Sintara's keeper, [[Thymara]], who does most of the hard work in caring for Sintara. It also broadens the rift between Alise and Sedric, the latter of which does not think highly of the dragons, and simply wants to return to Bingtown as soon as possible.
