Beyond the borders of the overworld lies the dream. Islands of strange fancy floating atop the formless nether, and connected by the glittering Ria. At the remotest reaches of this realm, a legendary but reluctant killer's attempted exile is thrown into chaos by the arrival of a naive yet powerful refugee from the overworld. To save her from the fate he suffered leagues ago, he must seek out sanctuary in places he never thought to revisit, and confront a force more terrifying than he ever imagined. From the author of Rewired and Threnody comes a bold and thoughtful fantasy adventure.
