You can cut out the tongue of a serpent, but if it keeps its fangs, it still has the chance to strike.
The war for the north is over. King Matheos and Queen Aglarosha have returned to the Valley of Agartha, hoping to nurture a fragile peace in a kingdom tired of bloodshed. But the silence of Agartha is deceiving.
When an Agarthan ship vanishes in the northern waters, leaving behind nothing but charred wreckage and a massive, impossible fang embedded in the hull, Matheos knows that the past has not finished with him. The attack is merely a prelude. Inside the heart of the Agarthenon, an assassin strikes, unraveling a conspiracy that points to a ghost from history: Shathaz.
The "Snake" slithers in the jagged, unforgiving cliffs of Gumorthyle—the "Dragon Fang" island. It is a land ruled by ledgers, chains, and silence, where the skykeel bleeds into the sky, and ancient towers bend sound across miles.
To end the lies that have plagued his world, Matheos must lead his armada not as a conqueror, but as a liberator. But Gumorthyle holds more than just a tyrant. From the depths of the mines to the currents of the high aether, myths are waking up. As the Golden Grey march on the last stronghold of slavery, they will find that the aether has unleashed a power that Agartha has not seen in an age.
A king fell from the sky to save the world. Now, he must rise to break it, before the fire consumes them all.
Survival is the goal. Truth is the weapon. Consequence is the law.
