Three souls bound by fate move on paths that will soon collide. Oya sinks. The Torn Ocean heals. One dark wizard thought defeated stirs, and if she rises, the world will burn.
Years have passed since Grump faced the wizard of Grand Mountain. While he loves his garden at the edge of the world, his daughter can’t say the same. Rose has no patience for gardening, no taste for working seed and soil. She has a different kind of hunger, and only the lands beyond the horizon can sate it. Far from their hidden home, an elven assassin receives a contract he can’t refuse, and an upstart mage discovers a mysterious book that promises freedom from her uncle’s torment.
These three strangers will find their strength, their spirits, and their souls tested by the darkness spreading through the land. Should they succeed, the light of amber may yet save the sinking continent. Fail, and Oya could fall to the flames of chaos.
