Synopsis

An explosion destroys Prince Merik's ship, and everyone assumes the Windwitch is dead. He survives, scarred, and sets out to prove that his sister betrayed him. In the royal capital, packed with refugees, he walks the streets at night and defends the weak. Rumours spread of a disfigured demigod called the Fury who brings justice to the oppressed.

Elsewhere, the Bloodwitch Aeduan learns that a bounty has been placed on Iseult and means to reach her first. She surprises him with an offer: she will return the money stolen from him if he finds Safi. The two agree to travel the Witchlands together, each wondering who will betray the other first.

Safi has troubles of her own. A surprise attack and a shipwreck leave her and the Empress of Marstok barely alive, stranded in a land of pirates. Every moment is precarious, and the pirates' next move could bring war to the whole of the Witchlands.

This is epic fantasy told through several points of view, with separate storylines that pull toward one another. Expect shifting alliances, distrust between partners and a steady sense of danger.
