Wees getuige van hun reis van veerkracht, opoffering en de meedogenloze zoektocht naar een betere toekomst, zelfs tegenover diepgaande persoonlijke uitdagingen.
Beached on an unforgiving shore, her beloved Sea Eagle destroyed by the Priest-Admiral's fleet, Sarasha must overcome her crippling injury to lead her people to a new, free life on the Great Prairie. But strong leadership creates dependence, and dependence leads to tyranny, and the whole vicious cycle will start over again. How can she lead without commanding, guide without taking control? And her foot still hurts.
Turned away from his Crew by the anger of Orrick Bren, lost because of the death of his leader, Sarasha, Cheynou Chan embarks on a journey of discovery: about the continent where he lives and about himself. He doesn't plan on falling in love with his companion.
