It's the story of a young shepherd on the verge of manhood, who ventures out into the haunted Issillian countryside to face the beast that killed his father. He acquires the advice and aid of a reluctant blacksmith and an unusual pair of witches before confronting his quarry on Lowhawk Hill. This tale contains both suspense and action, and also deals with the subjects of grief, revenge, what it takes to be a man...and what separates men from monsters.
Ros is a new crewman taking his first voyage on the light freighter, Coral Horn. Already tense about the ship being shadowed by the ruthless Tagarr, Ros learns there are far worse things than pirates when their craft encounters a drifting mystery out on the vast, moonlit Cambriatic Sea. He also discovers that some of the hardest lessons are those you must survive to learn, and that "choices" must be made in the real world...even when that reality is the world of Nur.
