With two battles behind them, and the matter of Unhost settled, Ylmi & Karik are finally able to turn their attention to building a ship that stands a chance of surviving the treacherous seas of the Black Isles.
The peace in Vrania is fragile however, and the two young warriors swiftly discover that success attracts attention, and with it the grasping hands of their king.
But even as the king makes his demands, the winters of Vrania have not grown less harsh. Karik and Ylmi must prepare to withstand it even as they struggle to build their ship and guard their settlement. If they can keep starvation at bay long enough, they may be able to complete their ship, and attempt to cross the Isles.
But even if all goes according to plan, and it rarely does in Vrania, there is still the question of what they will find if they make it through the Isles, or who they will find..
