Winter lies cold and dark upon the world; it seems that spring will never come. Once dismissed as the ravings of a crazed hermit, the prophecies of Honorius seem at last to be coming true. The Ramusian Church is steadily extending its power over the continent of Normannia, its might beginning to rival that of the long-vanished Fimbrian Empire. But even in the ranks of the Church hierarchy, some are beginning to doubt the morality of their cause. And there are whisperings in the monaster-city of Charibon, of something terrible that stalks the cloisters at night.
In the east, the last Torunnan army stands at bay before the walls of its capital. In the west, King Abelyn strives to maintain control of an unruly and ravaged kingdom. And in the harbour of old Abrusio, the "Gabrian Osprey" lies docked at last, home from her long voyaging. Only a handful of shocked survivors remain of the proud expedition which set sail almost a year before, but they are not alone: something has come home with them from the uttermost west.
