Something was waking. Something terrible. Something that knew she had come. Born of a magical bloodline, Kiera is summoned to perform an impossible task. Her people have been exiled from the lands of Anwyn and have become wanderers on the sea, living in ships with no land to call their own. Because of a special agreement created between Cam and Spider and the Anarwyn almost one hundred years before, the survivors are allowed to come ashore once a year and, under the supervision of two Heirs, collect the food, lumber, and precious metals necessary for survival at sea.

For 2,000 years, the Order of the Varaná has nurtured and protected the Anarwyn, a sentient magic that has developed a symbiotic relationship with humans. The Order has kept the land free of the ageless evil called the Bragamahr that once controlled the destiny of humankind. Over the long years, the secrets of the magic have been lost, and the Varaná have dwindled until only one remains. Then, from the shadows come the Mahrowaiths of the Bragamahr, ancient creatures of evil who attempt to hunt the remaining heirs of Anarwyn to extinction.

The magic is broken. Cam is trapped between the need to secure his throne, his commitment to support King Gareth as he resists a massive invasion, and the renewed threat from the magic he fought to protect. Nature itself is being torn apart as two rival magics wrestle for control. Underneath it all, something very old and very powerful rouses from its lethargy. It hunts for Cam—even as the magic called the Anarwyn grows ever more reckless in its efforts to neutralize him.
