When Jorn Vjostersson returns to his native village after a stint in prison, he can’t decide which new addition is worse: the abusive imperials who want to sell everything that isn’t nailed down; or the peace-and-love hippies who think eating magic mushrooms is a form of protest. The only positive is that he lands unrestricted access to flying, rideable reptiles called wyrms. He'd leap atop one and start a rebellion by himself, but things aren’t so simple. Wyrms are no match for the imperials’ court wizards, nor can they take on an army of professional wyrmriders.

Once passionate about the theatre, playwright Martin Cheveril is now disillusioned and contemplating a change of career. His new play, a bitter and cynical piece, is about to premiere when something strange happens. After stumbling upon an old pamphlet about a talented young actress named Jenny Villiers who died in 1846, Cheveril dozes off and finds himself somehow transported back to the theatre of her day. By some mysterious means, he will find himself a spectator of the tragedy of Jenny's life and death-a tragedy whose effects will echo strangely into the present day.
