In a world where women hold all the power and men have barely been an
afterthought, an intrepid shipmistress must put aside everything she
knows if she is to save her people.
Bela is at the helm of the Sandcrow, a ship sent from calm seas to the
far frozen north in search of a legendary power that could turn the tide
of war. Locked into ice, the Sandcrow is lost. Now, for the
shipmistress and her crew, a desperate voyage becomes a chilling
struggle for survival against nature, fear, and prejudice.
If Bela can lead them to their ultimate destination, will the magic they
find be their redemption - or their destruction?
