Meanwhile, Hal’s brothers Martin and Brendan fight to hold Ylith against Keshian forces and a mysterious underwater threat. As the Kingdom faces potential loss of Crydee and Ylith, an unknown force orchestrates the conflicts. Pug and the Conclave of Shadows must uncover the source of the chaos before Midkemia is destroyed.
