From their home in the Vale of Lakes, a group of young traders set out on a quest to make their fortune. Carrying a cargo of ancient artefacts, their journey along the River Wynnd will take them into a world both strange and terrifying.
For the One Kingdom is a far more dangerous place than the adventurers could have imagined. In the aftermath of a terrible war, political upheaval and family rivalries threaten to plunge the land into a new dark age, and the consequences of a long-ago war are by no means played out. The past, it seems, is far from forgotten.
With wonderful storytelling, and a world as engrossing as any in the fantasy genre, a major new epic begins.
