'A king corrupted, a sorcerer on the throne, a land in peril…
'Excommunicated cleric Saker returns from exile in the Spice Islands to find his homeland in chaos.
'A dark sorcerer controls the ear of the King, turning him against his own son and heir, while a corrupted army gathers in the shadows.
'With the illusionist Sorrel and islander Ardhi, armed with magic from Ardhi’s homeland, Saker now must stand between his city and the corruption that threatens to cripple it, before it is too late . . .'
