In the sequel to the beloved high fantasy East, Rose sets off on a perilous journey to find her true love when he goes missing in a thrilling tale of danger, magic, adventure, and revenge.

Now Rose has found her happily-ever-after with Charles - until a sudden storm destroys his ship and he is presumed dead.
