Book II of  The Rain Wild Chronicles. The dragon keepers and fledgling dragons are forging a passage through the uncharted and treacherous waters of the Rain Wild River, supported by the liveship Tarman, its captain Leftrin and Alise Finbok who has escaped her cruel marriage in Bingtown.  They are searching for the mythical city of Kelsingra, hoping to find a safe haven away from the society that has rejected them. When a vial of dragon blood can earn a man enough gold to last a life time, there may be some in the party who see the growing dragons as more valuable body parts than whole and alive. But it is the Rain Wilds – mysterious, unstable and ever perilous – that may provide the deadliest danger, one that will push them all to the very brink of survival.
