Nicholas, crippled son of the Prince of the West and third in line to the throne, is learning to be a man at his uncle's frontier court in Crydee, when the town is sacked and prisoners taken to a nearby chain of pirate islands. What follows is a chase and a voyage much farther, to a land much rougher and with its own hostile politics. And just below the surface, pantathian serpent priests and their latest disgusting magic.
