The cruel Miradis the Black is the last of the Island Witches, the Keeper of the Covenant, and ruler of the entire archipelago. She and her kind have carried the people of the Islands through a century of darkness while the mainland has fallen to war and ruin. But Miradis is old, her Sisterhood has failed, and the age of her dominion is coming to an end. A new Duchy has risen in the West to challenge the old ways, and her only true place of power is her island.Her indentured boy, Christopher Jacob, is a faceless and nameless orphan. Denied his past, and robbed of his future, he lives a hopeless life of drudgery and work, and serving at the Witch's every whim. Trapped upon a distant island at the farthest reaches of the farthest seas, he simply tries to make it through the day, and survive.Everything changes the day that Bones and his pirates come to the Island, seeking to trade with Miradis. The secrets they bring with them will alter Christopher Jacob's world forever, and he will discover that everything he knows about himself is a lie.
