A Morgwn warship arrives in Bridges, bringing whispers with it. Ora Buckmaster knows the town Council must keep their defection from Morgwn under wraps or else. But the town has a powerful ally. The Lock-Maker King rules the North with his mystical powers. He brings such fertility to the land that the town is growing rich. As a result, Bridges is unwilling to give up their strange ruler. But the ship's captain wants to meet with the Morgwn Town Master urgently. He has no idea that Baron Beaulay has been deposed and imprisoned in the new Kingdom. As Outrider Chief and now Master of Forces, Ora is ready to defend Bridges directly, but the Council decides the wisest course is subterfuge. It's hard to conceal the truth once night falls and mysterious voices begin to sing in the wild. The town is on edge, as lights move across the land, and, suddenly, the King and his people depart. With orc attacks on the rise, dragons threatening, and a Morgwn warship in the wings, Ora must find her King. Loyalties will be tested, love will spark, and the fate of the North will hang in the balance.
