Every mile brings Lord Jester Lark closer to Cathret’s battlelines, and almost certain recapture. Every moment risks discovery by enemy sacred beings, and enslavement to the Trokellestrai. But Lark’s greatest fear is that what’s left of him will never find the love that haunts his hopes, a love that may no longer wait for him on the islands he yearns to call home once again.

The final book to the twin trilogies The Lord Jester's Legacy and The Poisoned Past.
