As Dhulyn Wolfshead and Parno Lionsmane await the judgment
of the Mercenary Guild on false charges of murder and
kidnapping, Long Ocean Nomads coerce them into a voyage to
Mortaxa at the far end of the ocean. A Mortaxan
Storm Witch has appeared and threatened the Nomads with the
murderous weather she controls. The leader of Mortaxa has
acceded to her demand that 'Paladyn' be brought to mediate
between the people of the Crayx to gain control over their
ancient trade routes.
Parno is welcomed by the Crayx-linked Long Ocean Nomads, as
he is somehow able to share in their thoughts and the
thoughts of the huge fish creatures to whom they are bonded.
Dhulyn's Seer powers become increasingly erratic and
troubling, as she feels herself more isolated from her
partner, unable to share her worries without breaking a vow.
In this third Dhulyn and Parno adventure, Malan brings us to
another side of the world she has created; where slavery is
integral to daily life, the Marked live as sequestered
slaves and the hand of the ancient Craids lies heavy on the
land.
Although THE STORM WITCH draws heavily on past events,
Violette Malan seamlessly weaves in information important to
the plot, making this a book that can be read as a stand-
alone novel, not only as part of the series.
The new fantasy adventure featuring Dhulyn and Parno.
Mercenary Partners Dhulyn Wolfshead and Parno Lionsmane have
returned to their Mercenary House to clear themselves of
accusations of kidnapping and murder. But before they can
resolve these charges, old friends are taken hostage by the
Long Ocean Nomads, and they are forced to come to the rescue.
And as they set sail, Dhulyn is convinced they are
journeying to Parno's death, which she has foreseen in
numerous visions of a drowning at sea.
