Valanandir’s throat spasms as he tries not to choke. He spits out a salty mouthful of seawater and grips some nearby rigging one-handed as the ship rocks beneath him. Under skies devoid of moon or sun, Valanandir fights for his life alongside his Sea Elf crew. But his ship already burns like a funeral pyre in the middle of the storm-tossed ocean. …And far more than he realizes depends on his survival. Lose yourself in the thoroughly imagined World of Lasniniar with this first novel in the series by award-winning author, Jacquelyn Smith.
