Nothing is the same. In the wake of the destruction of Aieclo, Valrin has lost everything. But the genie that saved him, his crew, and countless others, has both a passage ahead and a secret of his own to hide. Unnatural fogs roll across the Glacial Seas, the waters are warming, and when the genie offers his help, Valrin will be forced to leave his crew behind and journey into the unknown. With only one other soul, Millia, a woman that somehow owes a life debt to the genie, they must hurry if they're to get ahead of what's encroaching upon the Glacial Seas. But what more will it cost them and how long do they really have until Marog returns?.
