Elysium Brumal

by Kevin Weir

Weeks have passed since Gaul, hounded by self-doubt, threw himself into an unwinnable fight. Marta is now alone in the city atop a whale — or at least she wishes she was. The spirit of former Adathin's youngest princess, Isildia, lives within her mind and threatens to take over her body with each passing day. With no way off Boboros Whale, they must hide from Melifacto's Owls, who hunt them incessantly at their Praetor's will. Isildia is Melifacto's only chance to open the Cradle of the World and retrieve the power of the First Gods before they reawaken, and he'll stop at nothing to become the god he believes he deserves to be.

Escape the whale. Keep her body her own. Continue her hunt for the Primordials. Stop the First Gods. Marta's path isn't easy. Fortunately, strange allies are in her midst — if she can trust them.

Meanwhile, a corrupting disease appears in a peaceful whaling village in Boboros' wake and a youth's life is thrown into turmoil as strangers arrive on a hunt for a man named Gaul...
