The Third Book of the Glyst Saga
On Anhaga Island
I have only ever heard the sound once in my life. And it was the first time I saw my father genuinely afraid.
Securing work aboard The Avenger, Alys seeks to find out more about Beleathen and his trade in Glystblood. But something has followed her, something she encountered in Draeden’s Trench, something that will see her set adrift on a brutal and unforgiving sea.
Washed up on the shores of a deserted island, Alys is determined to survive. She forages, hunts and builds, making a home for herself, dreaming of the Harbour, wondering if she will ever see her friends and family again, wondering if she will ever resume her mission to stop the Gravene and its agents.
But there is something on the island with her, deep in the woods… something that shrieks in the night.
The Avenger is by far the largest vessel docked at Leax, but it is not its size that is its most striking feature. It is the blood-red timbers from which it has been constructed. It is a crimson giant surrounded by tawdry fishing boats.
