In "Seaferring [Elvin Fire p2]," Luse and Jace wake to a nightmare: the crew they were supposed to guard is dead, and the ship they were meant to protect has been taken over. Cleah, the captain of the vessel that attacked them, now holds the stolen cargo—and the survivors’ fate.

In the twisted heart of the Blithwood Forest, Lusiphur, Jace, and Petunia are trapped in a nightmare of shifting truths, where every shadow whispers betrayal and every reflection might be a lie.
