Daeson and Synjan leave the world of Trent and land in J’Bdyamn, a tropical paradise. Removed from modern comforts, they are discovered by the Mukake tribe and welcomed into an imposing cliffside village. Daeson’s fear of heights and Synjan’s inability to communicate using the melodious native language have them struggling to adapt... and the Portal is an impossible distance away.

Hawke arrives the next world over, on Femme. He is paired with a Wanderer Clairvoyant whose messages make no sense – especially when she starts predicting Hawke’s own future. Unnerved and isolated in a world that would prefer to enslave him rather than help him, Hawke is forced to wait for Synjan and Daeson to arrive.

Unaware of the storm brewing in their wake, Daeson and Synjan are forced to confront their pasts, accept their differences and decide their futures before the war they’ve inadvertently stepped into erupts around them.
