A man of the Dawn Claw will be the Always King. It will ever be so. They
will always rule . . . but they will not always lead. Prince Oliver Dawn
Claw, heir to the Kingdom of the Four Claws, is thrust into a world he
doesn't understand as he waits for his father to die. Away from home,
with few allies, and too many enemies, he faces a new and otherworldly
threat to the Eastron from across the sea. Alliances break and masks
fall, as the Dark Brethren reveal their true master. Meanwhile, Adeline
Brand, called the Alpha Wolf, refuses to wait, and becomes the edge of
the sword that swings back at the Dreaming God. Assembling allies and
crushing resistance, she enters a fight she doesn't know if she can win,
as the sea begins to rise.
