A FLEETING RESPITE Oliver and his friends are about to start their fourth year but first, a nice, long vacation! They plan to sail around the Union, visiting several of the Sword Roses homelands, including the Aalto abode up north in Farnland with its huge forests and countless lakes, and the famous McFarlane manor in the south of Yelgland where Chela s mother lives. During this voyage, they ll meet people from all walks of life who will broaden their horizons in what may be the group s last chance to enjoy their time beyond Kimberly s walls.
