Upon the discovery of a phantom ship, its crew presumed deceased after attempting to reach the storm-enshrouded island of Akina, Navani Kholin is compelled to dispatch an expedition to ensure the island hasn’t been seized by adversaries. Knights Radiant who venture too close find their Stormlight abruptly depleted, necessitating a sea voyage.
Ship proprietor Rysn Ftori lost the ability to use her legs but gained the companionship of Chiri-Chiri, a winged larkin that ingests Stormlight, a species previously believed to be extinct. Currently, Rysn’s pet is sick, and any chance for Chiri-Chiri’s recovery lies solely at the ancestral home of the larkin: Akinah. With the assistance of Lopen, the once one-armed Windrunner, Rysn must accept Navani’s mission and sail into the dangerous storm from which no one has emerged alive. If the crew fails to unravel the secrets of the concealed island city before the fury of its ancient protectors descends upon them, the destiny of Roshar and the entire Cosmere is at stake.
