Synopsis

After a harrowing escape from their first landfall in the southern lands and worse disasters in the city where they seek refuge, the crew of the Chathrand discover that the worst imaginable thing has happened: Arunis has stolen the Nilstone. Now our heroes face a terrible choice. They can flee with the crew, and leave Arunis to do what he will—or they can pursue him into the wild, abandoning all but the slimmest chance of ever returning home, and travel the River of Shadows, a waterway rumored to be connected to the spirit realm. They are running out of time before Arunis masters the Nilstone—and unleashes the Swarm of Night into the world.

Goodreads review by Daniel on May 31, 2023

When I first joined Goodreads, back in the Fall of 2012, this was one of the books I added to my "to read" list, and I can't express just how great it feels to finally move it onto the "read" list. If you've read my review for the Rats and the Ruling Sea, the reason for my long delay in reading this......more
