On the run. Princess Abigone and the students from the secret schools for Masters and Makers are fleeing across the Central Provinces after the fall of Klef Mordain, concealing their identities as they edge ever closer to the borders of the Sanctian Empire. If caught, they will be executed by the Offices of Purgation, a Sanctian agency with one job – find and kill every Master and Maker in existence.
Enticed into the depths of the Great Forest, they are pulled into the realm of the renegade Whalebone King, a Master and former pirate who has given up life on the seas to rule over a silver mine with cruelty and barbarity.
Crossing their path on the way to answer a summons to Sanctos, Walter of Upper Down follows Abigone into the forest to rescue her, but finds himself battling not only the Whalebone King, but the inner demons that threaten to destroy him.
