Description
A great evil has been destroyed, but what replaces it may rend the peace hoped for in two... Agnir is dead. Six months have passed, and, still grieving heavy losses, two of the fivesome struggle to maintain a foothold in the precarious politics of a recovering Serpentine court. With nearly everyone against them and the world unwilling to help the race that struck down countless souls over the course of history, they fight for each other, but their own unhealed wounds and the pressure of the crown threaten to drive a wedge between them. A boy, mastering his magic, wants more. Craving to have something more than the hum in his bones, he joins an academy which hones physical and magical skill--and runs into an old acquaintance. A noble pirate finds a girl in a dungeon--a broken girl, who doesn't remember why she's there, or what she's missing. A prodigal son seeks freedom across the sea, but fate and a red-haired wraith have other plans. And beyond them all, a mage weaves his game and searches for a storm powerful enough to sink a city... *** Cover art is not mine unless specified.
