As Emwort’s sisters struggle to warn their people of the coming danger, Emwort discovers a conspiracy among his fellow monks to erase the King’s true history.
With no-one else to trust, Emwort forges a fragile alliance with the mercenaries of Sparrow Company, who serve the Rain King while trying to mitigate his destruction. But the Sparrows have their own dark past to reckon with, and the secrets Emwort reveals may turn one comrade’s blade against another…
As the flood reaches its peak, Emwort and the Sparrows will face a terrible decision. For the Rain King is waiting to claim his Bride. And if he does not have her, he will leave the land flooded forever more.
