Evil lurks in New Caledonia.

Will man or monster prevail?

The Highlanders may have found a way to evade the monsters hunting in the mist, but they can’t shake the terror and the loss of hope that accompanies hiding from an enemy they can’t see let alone kill.

Many fear that desperation and apathy will become commonplace as the Governors continue to fill their coffers and ignore the plight of their people – then all will be lost.

But a chance encounter with Jakob Kestrel brings a glimmer of hope.

Rather than fleeing the Murk, Jakob hunts within it. Can the Highlanders convince him to stay and teach them how to battle the monsters in the mist?

Bryen and Aislinn have their own chance encounter of a more lethal kind. Because of it, they meet a potential ally. Talia Carlomin will do everything in her power to eradicate the marauders in the Sea of Mist.

Recognizing their common goal but leery of who they can trust, Bryen, Aislinn, and Talia agree to work together to uncover the hidden threats in New Caledonia. While Jakob stokes a rebellion in the Highlands.

All four seek to battle the evil threatening their new home. All know the price they will pay if they fail.

Fate has tied the four together. Find out what it holds in store for them in this third book of the new epic sword-and-sorcery fantasy by bestselling author Peter Wacht.
