Stormriders Part One: The Realms of Glaith: Book Four

There's a storm coming, Rehya.

The words spoken by Bram to Rehya, just hours after the historic meeting that saw her emerge as warden of Yelgemar, could not have been more correct: the winds of change were about to carry those he had dubbed the "Stormriders" away from Gedanya and even further into the unknown.

Ash, who believed a return to Braethwenna would restore some sense of familiarity, finds the exact opposite. She hoped that, after helping the Broken Fingers make contact with the enigmatic Clerrid Jander, her involvement with the organization would come to an end. It quickly becomes clear, however, that her role in Operation Forked Tongue is just beginning. Alongside Enna, leader of the Crows, she embarks upon a dangerous descent into the Hallowed Kingdom's clandestine underworld - a place ruled by the secretive witch covens, who have built a shadowy empire that even the Hand hesitates to touch.

The future would be no less turbulent for the man who had first spotted the storm, either: Bram expected an opportunity to flex his diplomatic muscles in Bir'elda, but instead lands in a nation on the brink of collapse. A population separated by irreconcilable differences, a foe unlike any faced before on Glaith - despite the assistance of the elf Kam Ban Aad, is the king of the Lost Children stranded amidst a crisis with no resolution?

Clouds gather above Glaith. The calm is over.
