Three weeks after Kevin reclaimed his first Power Sword, the world of Rowen is drowning.
Blue tears fall from the sky. Citizens weep uncontrollably. And a child's voice echoes from a flooded city that died twenty years ago, calling for the Sword Master to find her.
Carl thought the hard part was over. He was wrong.
When the fellowship reaches Mordecai, they discover an impossible truth: Carl is the one who destroyed it. The act of love that sent Kevin home twenty years ago shattered a city, killed a child, and freed the Mind Demon that has been hunting Kevin ever since.
And Kevin carries a wound Carl never knew existed. His entire family died while he was lost in Rowen. He never said goodbye. He buried the grief so deep he forgot it was there.
But grief in Rowen is not a metaphor. It is a living ocean - a psychic contagion that transforms victims into weapons and spreads through every tear, every memory, every sorrow left unspoken. To save Mordecai and themselves, Kevin and Carl must do the one thing neither of them has ever been able to do.
