Attachments and Detachment

Jerya and Evisyn seize the chance of a voyage into the Eastern Ocean. The remote Spire Isles offer tantalising prospects of uncovering the mysteries of the past. Together they face physical challenges, dangerous storms, and complex personal choices.

Meanwhile, Jerya's daughter Torvyn is one of the first group of young women from the Five Principalities to spend a summer as 'Sojourners' in the College of the Dawnsingers. For Tor and her friends, it's the future, not the past, that challenges their thinking and influences their actions.
