The infamous port city of Yanyeo appears vibrant and charming. Lotus-strewn canals teem with lively merchants by day, while pleasure houses and gambling dens light the night with indulgent revelry. All of it reminds Cymin of the delights he and Laithondi shared in a past life.
But deep beneath the canal waters, a curse has been released and an enemy from Cymin’s past stalks him once again. Talented mages all across the city are quietly going missing. Mutilated remains have washed ashore.
Then Cymin’s friend Xaon disappears.
Racing to find him, Cymin and Laithondi plunge into the lair of a criminal syndicate, where their secrets are in danger and their lives are at risk.
