Resumen del Editor

To the north, the ice. To the south, the enemy. In the middle, her Republic...

Coral Amherst is the middle child of a wealthy family, with fingers throughout the politics and laws of the magical Dalebloods and the Republic they lead. Skill and connections alike have propelled her to the highest ranks of the Republic’s Navy.

Now, duty inexorably drags her into a mission to learn the fate of a long-lost magical city, once home to many of the people the Dalebloods rule. Storms of dark magic drove the Seablood from their ancient city and to the shores of the Republic—and those same storms now assail the Republic itself!

An ancient threat rises beyond the ice of the northern waters and Coral Amherst will need every scrap of courage, honor, and magic she commands if she is to save the Republic.

very good

Very good book. I liked it very much. Recommend it highly. I give it five stars.

Another Amazing Universe!

Glynn Stewart has done it again! If you enjoy steam punk, science fiction, magic and tales of the high seas, this book combines all four masterfully! I really hope this is the beginning of a new set of stories set in this universe. I really want to know what happens next.

Good read. Worth listening to.

Enjoyed the new story line as much as I have enjoyed Stewart's many previous titles. I like books that provide a fun get-away. This one meets that goal.

Enjoyable

This author is new to me I wasn’t expecting much from ‘another space opera’ but I found this to be quite charming The story is very LGBT+ friendly, but what I liked about that was how casually the author used women as important and powerful figures. The men sort of pale in comparison with the women, but turnabout is fair play.

Great story, classic sci-fi, recommend

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” - Arthur C. Clarke

I don't want to give any spoilers, but suffice it to say this is a classic sci-fi story of a civilization that's not quite aware of its roots. It starts out as a naval story and slowly develops into more and more as the author unrolls the tale for the reader. The story overall is creative and made the book well worth the listen.

The narrator is talented and captures different voices well enough that I was never confused about who was speaking. I've read a half-dozen of Glynn Stewart's books now, and have come to really enjoy his style. This book is no different in that, but it's not like most of his others I've read, it has a slightly different flavor. Because of that, I was impressed with his flexibility.

The book, unlike some I've read recently, is neatly broken up into sensibly-sized and announced chapters, so you always know when the scene changes. The character development is good, but not deep, it's all about the tale and the mission. I enjoyed the story, and would recommend it to any sci-fi fan.

worth your time

I live Glenn Stewart books. This one is unique. much lower tech than normal. It is very well written and gets more interesting as you listen. I highly recommend this book.

Fantastic!

Enjoyed this immensely! Got the book and the audio I liked it so much. Narration was great, story was original and very engaging.

Surprised how much I loved this!

I enjoy Mr. Stewart's series so much it took a while to get around to this stand alone novel. I was richly rewarded with amazing world building and deep, memorable characters brought to life. I still think about them!

Thank you narrator for telling us this story.

Glynn Stewart please write book 2 of this story. Phenomenal story and thank you Glynn Stewart.

Love Zara Ram

I will listen to anything Zara reads. This was also an interesting take on “other world” fiction.
