After flying off with his step-father to search for Dar Banning, the missing Birrnian prince, Liam has returned home to Kinsale. But his once small, comfortable, isolated world has become confining and claustrophobic. So, with the unexpected bond of friendship formed between Aerin Manus and Karam Kael (who wants more than just friendship), and the threat of war with the Menden Empire looming over their heads, Keir Liam strikes off into the world, ready to take on whatever new adventures await him.
