About this audiobook
The fractures are spreading. The old boundaries are failing. And something impossible has appeared between them.
Rael has spent years living with the consequences of one choice. Far from Aedara and everything he once called home, another choice finds him.
A child named Bel.
She should not be where she is. She should not be able to do what she does. And she carries something neither the Aedari nor the Veriken understand.
Across the Chain, old tensions are hardening into something worse. Ships disappear. Borders close. Old powers begin to move. Beyond the mapped systems, the fractures are drawing worlds towards a reckoning no civilisation is prepared for.
Rael can walk away.
He has done it before.
This time, he chooses to stand between.
And somewhere at the end of everything, Ael’Thyr is waiting.
