Ve svém hněvu si neuvědomuje, jak obrovský je to úkol. Velekrál Skorri Morgrimson mu sice dá k dispozici pouhou hrstku válečníků, jenže přísaha je přísaha. Co na tom, že proti Uthorově oddílu stojí obrovská přesila. Nikdo není zarputilejší než rozzlobený trpaslík. A tak trpaslíci pochodují do boje!

Jak mohl někdo zabít všechny návštěvníky výstavy do jednoho a proč by vůbec něco takového dělal? Holmes a Watson se brzy dostávají na stopu tajemné postavy v černém, kterou díky její neuvěřitelné rychlosti a hbitosti není možné dopadnout. Nedlouho poté se v nechvalně proslulém slumu najde strašlivě zohavené tělo sluhy ruského velkovévody, který právě pobývá v Londýně – má i to na svědomí stejný pachatel? Co ale tyto dva zločiny spojuje a souvisí nějak se sebevraždou nepopulární učitelky na odlehlé internátní škole? Tak začíná případ, který odhalí, jak temné stíny mohou vrhat hříchy z minulosti, a otestuje Holmese i Watsona až na hranice jejich sil…

Quick to condemn the people of Ulthuan as traitors, the mountain lords nevertheless try to prevent conflict, but the elves' arrogance undoes any chance of reconciliation and war is inevitable.
