Publisher's summary

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Excellent story

Loved the premise of the story, will there be more to the story? I’d love to hear more in this universe.
