With Storybrooke in danger, Regina and David venture off in order to lead the danger away from their loved ones. Little did they know their destination was the People's Palace in the Midlands under Lord Richard Rahl and his Lady Nicci's rule. What will happen when these two couples meet? Who is the stronger of the two lands?

A life. That's the price that must be paid for a death. And Regina is ready to collect that fee.

Queen Regina's alliance with D'Hara is used to wreak havoc across both the Midlands and the Enchanted Forest. Unknown to her and Rahl, Kahlan Amnell is searching across the boundary for the Seeker, Snow White is aware of the prophecy surrounding her child, Red is captured in the middle of a mission, and the Mother Confessor has aligned herself with a false Queen.
