Shadows descend in this thrilling sequel to Murdoch's Choice!

Choices have consequences, even if you're the famous sea captain Zale "the Gale" Murdoch.

Following their quest for the mythical Grimstone, Zale, his daughter Starlina, and the entire crew find their hometown of Warvonia in a dire state. Once a major sea hub, the harbor is in ruin, covered in life-threatening darkfrost. High Count Vidimir Tefu, Zale's former client, will stop at nothing to restore the full might of Void, which he views as the kingdom's salvation. Ancient monsters and sorcery of the Shadow Age are rallied against Zale, his crew, and his home-even forcing him back in time with his oldest, most despised rival, Captain "Seadread" Rummy.

Meanwhile, as Starlina Murdoch witnesses both her father and her fiancé fall to the Shadow's devices, she must find strength within herself she never knew existed to take up her father's quest for the Eye of Shi'kha, all the while wondering if she will ever see her loved ones again.

Can Zale, Starlina, and the motley crew of Murdoch's Mates recover the darkest, once-concealed powers of Void and Shadow and hope to control them before it's too late?
