Vessel of Life

A kingdom under blight, a criminal in hiding, an amnesiac with a gift, and gods that can't be trusted. Brone has lived on a mountain with his hunting dogs, isolated, for several years. Just when Brone feels Akhael has turned his back on him, he finds a woman, half-frozen in the snow. Adira has no recollection of who she is or where she came from; she only knows her name. The last thing she remembers is a ship broken by the raging sea, and a woman she will never see again.
