Book ID/图书代码： 12100016B88479
English Summary/英文概要： Acquel Galenus, former thief and now monk of no particular skill, indifferent scribe and even worse chorister, uncovers a terrible secret under the Great Temple at Livorna that could shiver the one faith to its core. A secret that could get him killed. A secret that could enable an older, more sinister form of worship to be reborn...
Pirate princeling Nicolo Danamis, mercenary to the King and captain of the largest fleet in the island kingdom of Valdur, has made one deal too many, and enemies are now closing in to destroy him.
And Citala, fair-haired and grey-skinned, the daughter of the chieftain of the Merfolk who inhabit the waters of Valdur, finds herself implacably drawn to the affairs of men. She puts events in motion that will end her people’s years of isolation but that could imperil their very existence...
All their fates will intertwine as they journey through duchies and free cities riven by political intrigue, religious fervour, and ancient hatreds. Alliances are being forged anew and after decades of wary peace, war is on the wind once again...
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Acquel Galenus原本是个小偷，现在是个没有什么特别技能和想法的僧侣以及没什么长处的唱诗班成员。但就是这样一个人却发现了Livorna的大寺庙Great Temple的可怕秘密。这个秘密可能将整个信仰置于不复。这个秘密可能让他丢掉性命。这个秘密可能会让一个古老的、邪恶的崇拜重生。
太子党海盗Nicolo Danamis觊觎着岛国Valdur的王位和舰队。他刚刚做了一个多余的交易，大群敌人正在逼近，试图消灭他。
金发灰肤的Citala是居住在Valdur水域的人鱼首领之女，她发现自己已经无从摆脱对于人类男性的迷恋。她的行为会结束人鱼多年来的与世隔绝，但也可能危及它们的生存。
当他们各自奔波在充斥着政治阴谋、宗教狂热以及古老仇恨的各个公国和城市间时，所有这些命运交织在一起。联盟即将成立，在几十年的平静之后，战争又初现端倪。（LYR）
