This saga delves into the complexities of leadership and the cyclical nature of power. It explores the delicate balance between individual freedom and the necessity of guidance, as characters confront both external threats and the internal struggles of command. Witness their journey of resilience, sacrifice, and the enduring quest for a better future, even in the face of profound personal challenges.
Beached on an unforgiving shore, her beloved Sea Eagle destroyed by the Priest-Admiral's fleet, Sarasha must overcome her crippling injury to lead her people to a new, free life on the Great Prairie. But strong leadership creates dependence, and dependence leads to tyranny, and the whole vicious cycle will start over again. How can she lead without commanding, guide without taking control? And her foot still hurts.
Turned away from his Crew by the anger of Orrick Bren, lost because of the death of his leader, Sarasha, Cheynou Chan embarks on a journey of discovery: about the continent where he lives and about himself. He doesn't plan on falling in love with his companion.
