The rebellious son of a long line of pureblood cartographers and diviners, Valen has spent most of his life trying to escape what ordained for him. His own mother has predicted that he will meet his end in water and blood and ice.

Now, to preserve the lands of Navronne, Valen must face what he fled so long ago. For the key to Navronne's doom is buried in half-forgotten myth - and in the secrets of his own past ...
