| Summary: | "Maras-Sund has stood for more than twenty years, the two cities joined as one, bound together by an otherworldly bridge erected by the Marasi. With their own magic over the water diminished by their overlords, the Sundain's only hope for liberation lies with a man of limitless but untested power ..." "Possessing an affinity for water unparalleled by any of his people, Issel has led a small band of resistance fighters across the river from Sund to Maras in an attempt to break the magic binding the lands. Hunted by enemy soldiers, they've taken refuge in the cistern network beneath the city where they can travel unnoticed and strike without warning. But surrounded by so much water, Issel finds his abilities threatening to tear him apart - body, mind, and soul." His homeland oppressed for more than twenty years after the events of Bridge of Dreams, Issel of the Sudain uses his magical ability to manipulate water as part of a plan to free his people, an endeavor in which he is aided by a Marasai generals daughter who possesses her own vendetta against the regime. 15,000 first printing. |
