It's been two centuries since the Exodus, during which humans fled across a great ocean to escape the magical catastrophe that destroyed their old world. In the new world, they've begun to rebuild their civilization, but in a world where magic has been banned to prevent recurrence of that disaster. Morley, a dwarf, has found precarious safety as the court jester in Ankur. But safety is not acceptance, and he's at best shunned, feared and tormented at worst. When a mysterious sorcerer offers Morley a chance to be normal, he accepts without hesitation. But powerful magic always carries a price, and Morley finds the payback may be far costlier than he'd expected-it may even cost him his world. In this sequel to Chords, we learn more of the history of the post-Exodus world, what the true stakes are should magic re-enter the world, and what price Morley is willing to pay for acceptance.
