Revenge is over. The rescue is done. So why does it feel so... empty? Kal makes the trek to Thalassa. To home. And he's not alone. It's not his sorted company that he's worried about--though, it's still undoubtedly something to worry about. It's the things he can't see but knows are there.Everything is as it should be in the city-state. His family, the politics, the shops and taverns are all exactly as he remembered. But everything is somehow different. Things unsaid are finally spoken, and the news of it shatters Kal's world. There's no time to sort out enemies and lovers and friends. Ashtoret calls on him, where games of politics boarder between delicate and deadly. Secrets are spilled, fear is festering, and shadows are stalking. Even with a Huntsman at his side, Kal can't escape the tangled web the gods weave. He's left with no other choice than to sail out from the Blistering Shores. The final installment of the first trilogy, and part three of the Liricle series, things take a darker turn from here.
