The story opens with the wife of John Carter and two other women are imprisoned in a slowly revolving jail linked to the Temple of the Sun, which is only accessible to outside world once a year. Meanwhile, Xodar, a friend of Carter's, has taken over as the new Jeddak of the black Martian First Born, and the white Martian therns who oppose the traditional religion now have a new leader. The Holy Hekkador Matai Shang is one of the people who still supports the ancient, discredited religion.
