Publisher's Synopsis
A strange and deadly plague, lethal to the Human kindred of New Sylestia, has taken hold in the coastal city of Fairport. While the Militia Commander Velyxi fights alongside the local magistrate to keep the vulnerable seaport quarantined amidst panic and internal forces, her daughter Lorewyn, a young and somewhat unseasoned Elven archer, along with Rhianyn and Shyntiel sail west across the ocean in hopes of finding the distant and mysterious Crown Islands, and the only hope for a cure. The mysteries lie fathoms deep, however, as the islands have the potential to not only heal an endangered realm, but also reveal a very dark secret from the past, one that Lorewyn's own people would prefer to remain kept secret!Set two centuries before the events of Two Flew at Midnight and Knights of the Faerie Blade, this new maritime adventure in the Cordysian Chronicles series offers another exciting chapter of Lorewyn's life and times, as she and others must contend with the Castaways of the Crown Islands!
