A GROWING DARKNESS STIRS IN THE NORTH.

Itale has grown used to life with the Misfits as they face down the cults of Vilanthris and their schemes to awaken the long-dead dragon gods. But when rumors surface of a weapon capable of slaying gods, the Misfits must divide their strength.

While the others head west, Itale joins a small company bound for the icy northern seas to uncover the truth. The voyage will test more than their resilience. Aboard the Firebrand, Itale finds himself drawn to its ever-charming captain, Tantien Kindroth--a man haunted by his own demons and temptations that could lead them astray. As danger closes in and their course drives them fruther into the heart of peril, both their willpower and their hearts must weather the storm.
