Bonds of Salt and Feather

By Erik Seabury

As Dyana Seldor and Hylf Alansen flee through sacred salt towers, dying gods, soul traders, and a king's widening hunt, the Chosen and the Cursed begin to love each other in defiance of a prophecy that promises one must kill the other to keep the world from falling into shadow.

The Raven Sellswords survived the Bone Garden, but survival has only carried them deeper into doom.
Dyana Seldor, bastard daughter of a tyrant king and unwilling Chosen of a dying prophecy, travels beneath the towering salt pillars of the Hollow Spires with the cursed warrior Hylf Alansen and the battered remnants of his Raven company. The world calls them mercenaries. The old gods call them witnesses. King William calls them prey.
Hylf's curse worsens with every mile, blackening his veins and binding his fate tighter to Dyana's awakening power. Around them circle Soul Reavers who sell the nearly dead, General Galerus with blood on his hands and fame in his mouth, and Myris Dark Heart, the witch whose monsters wear the voices of the lost. The sacred Osprey Eagles still guard the Spires, but even they are fading as the Nine Gods are forgotten.
Inside the company, loyalty begins to crack. Frea hides tenderness behind a blade-bright tongue. Drengr prays to gods who answer in storms and grief. Jolf laughs at death until death laughs back. Talden Grey limps toward the warrior's ending he has always wanted. And Lyminy Blackthorn, Dyana's oldest friend and self-appointed savior, watches love grow between the Chosen and the Cursed and decides salvation may require betrayal.
