by Robert Blacksmith
In the dying island nation of Breenland, where a drought is killing the poor and a boy-tide is killing the rest, the condemned are cast into sacred waters on a day that belongs only to a god. This year, the man conducting the ritual is the same one who trained those condemned to survive it. Tariel has no army, no title the holy well will recognize, and sixty-three days to find a crack in a law that has never once been broken, before his brother, his conscience, or the sea takes everything that remains.
