Jakob Kestrel fled to the Highlands to evade the monster that hunts him. Little does he know that the relic he carries with him will summon even greater perils. Bryen Keldragan and Aislinn Winborne head to New Caledonia, hoping to break free from their tumultuous past and begin anew on a joint path, far from the chains that had bound them. Talia Carlomin sails for Ballinasloe, desperate to leave behind a bloody secret that could cost her life. She is filled with hope and promise as she works to build the business that holds the key to her family's future. Unbeknownst to them, an ancient evil has awakened. The Murk creeps down from the north, bringing nightmares in its mist. Find out how fate will tie them together in this new epic fantasy by best-selling author Peter Wacht.
