On the run from assassins and worse, Wax and his friends cross the ice to a strange and deadly land.
With several skars yet to find, the group heads to Tamas short on provisions and the means to buy them. Tamas has other ways of earning your stay, though, and what it costs may be more than Wax and Eujo can bear. Still, if they want to save their friends, their family, their world, the only answer is to play along.
In the Dark Below, Ami plays a different game: keeping hope alive as more fiends crash into the isles and against a weakened Aegis. Desperate to untangle the mysteries behind the gods and these monsters, Ami takes a risk that could change everything, or destroy all she's worked for.
That same disaster befalls Gladdring, who balances his own survival in city where one's life is measured by who he knows, what threats he can muster. The former Tenet finds knives in every corner, and if he means to survive, has to turn at least some against their owners. Success means vindication, a chance to put himself atop the shifting powers. Failure . . . no sense worrying about that miserable end.
