Her knights protect and explore the realm, seeking artifacts lost to time and fending off wicked, cunning magics. As the youngest knight in the court of Afallennau, Galeas serves as Her Majesty's voice. Born blind, Galeas is known for her kindness and untarnished virtue, using her words and intuition to handle matters of diplomacy throughout the realm. When King Theomacha sends her to a village that appears to be slowly drowning, Galeas is shocked to hear this impending disaster may be the work of the House of Corbenic, whose guilds are responsible for every architectural and creative art in the kingdom. How would their notoriously brilliant guildmistress, Lady Belakané, benefit from flooding the river Fand and rending nature asunder?Accompanied by her legendary guide and steed, Hengroen, Galeas quests past the flood to the House of Corbenic and meets Belakané's only daughter, Liban, whose injury in her youth has shattered her faith in love and loyalty. That, and a mysterious curse that bleeds water from her skin, one that may swallow the world entire if left unchecked.Haunted by images of lost oceans and a relic that erases itself from the memories of outsiders, Galeas must break the curse, save Liban, and confront an unthinkable question: what if King Theomacha has been lying to her from the very beginning?
