The ghost ship Soliton has reached its destination—but for Isoka and her crew, the Harbor offers no safe haven.
Surrounded by ancient ziggurats and shrouded in haunting Eddica magic, the Harbor is home to desperate monks, mad rulers, and the cursed dead who rise each night. If Isoka can’t find a way to steal the ship and return to Kahnzoka, her sister’s life is forfeit.
But back in the city, Tori isn’t safe. Secretly wielding the forbidden magic of Kindre, she risks everything to help mage-bloods escape the Emperor’s grasp—and to uncover what really happened to her sister.
As revolution brews and danger closes in from both ends of the empire, the sisters’ fates are intertwined in a battle for survival, freedom, and power.
