The last thing Captain Eirik Askelson of Valdar was hoping to find during his nighttime raid of a small village was a girl - no, a young woman - in need of rescuing. Half-starved, covered in dirt, and chained to a wall, the girl named Liara is more than happy to be free. But when the captain brings her along on the long march home with his troops, he soon discovers this girl is not at all what she appears.
Not only is she from a strange country far to the north, but she can fight as fiercely as any of his best warriors, and she has strange scars all along her back.
Will Liara's secrets interfere with her growing affection for the handsome captain?

Bound by fate, they set sail across dangerous seas, facing monsters, curses, and hidden truths about their past. Their journey leads them into the depths of the Void, a realm of shadows and illusions.

From the void, their path takes them north to the frozen lands of Siberia, where storms never rest and the ground itself is treacherous.

Yet, even through grief, they hold onto their mission and secure what they came for. Their quest continues to the distant Marshall Islands, where the ocean hides both wonder and danger. Here, they encounter enchanted waters, sea beasts, and trials of loyalty and trust.
