River of the World

Summary

The city of Maras-Sund has stood for more than 20 years—two lands joined together by a magical bridge the Marasai used to conquer the Sundain. But the man known as Issel has magic of his own—an ability to manipulate water—which he will use to free his people. He finds an ally in Jendre, the daughter of a general in Maras' army and a woman with her own vendetta against the regime. Her sister is held captive along with others whose life essences power the magical bridge between her land and Sund. Her plan: to help Issel enter the palace and break the spell.
