A revised edition of the epic Deep Water duology, containing both volumes (previously published as Bloodstone and A Whisper in the Void).
Something evil stirs in the heart of the island nation of Tesaria, and a young man, Jeren Dekembri, finds himself afflicted by a dark magic. One night, he experiences a terrible dream in which he is floating deep underwater, tormented by violent thoughts but unable to move. The village loremaster warns him that such dreams are a bad omen, and soon enough Jeren's whole life is turned upside down. After surviving a horrifying encounter, he goes on the run, desperately fleeing to safety with a young merchant's daughter, Aleas Theel, at his side. But there is no safe place left in Tesaria, for a dangerous power has awakened and soon all people must fall before it.
