Once again, war has come to Ganderland’s shores. With the threat of a Cardian invasion only weeks away, King Tyden’s forces dig in along the western coast, with most of his fleet of warships moving to Calban in anticipation of an attack—an attack that does not come where expected. When his ships are burned after an act of sabotage, King Tyden must turn to the Wolf of Corwick after a Parnuthian armada navigates the frigid northern waters in a surprise move to land forces in the east.
Hadrack is quick to put an end to the savage Parnuthian advance, retaking towns and castles as he forces the invaders back toward the coast and their ships. But, with victory almost within his grasp, Hadrack receives an urgent summons that cannot be ignored, sending him sailing to the south in a race against time after a hated foe—with the prize for the winner Waldin’s missing copy of the Halas Codex offered for sale by a mysterious figure known only as The Fisherman.
So begins one of the most harrowing adventures of Hadrack’s life as he tries to navigate his way through the web of lies, deceit, and half-truths surrounding the codex. Who is The Fisherman? And what happened to the former House Agent, Malo? But most of all, who is the man behind the cult-like White Ravens, a growing sect of religious fanatics bent on tearing the world apart one kingdom at a time?
As Hadrack sets out to learn the answers to these questions, he is joined by the beautiful and fiery castaway, Sarrey del Fante, who, as it turns out, has a secret of her own—one that could spell doom for the Wolf and his men."
