Synopsis
Vespera is a cosmopolitan port city in Thetia, an archipelago on the waterworld of Aquasilva, set forty years after the events of the trilogy. The city is in the grip of civil war.

His search uncovers a buried secret from the arctic mines that reaches into his own family and pits him against the Empire and the Dream Twisters.
