Scores have been scraped in the desert sand and now they must be settled. A new and vicious power grows in London, and it seeks vengeance against Merion.As Merion, Rhin, Lilain and Lurker are pursued over prairie and wasteland, their strange new family must put their fate in the hands of a travelling circus, headed east for the shores of the Iron Ocean. And perhaps a ship home, if they survive the journey.All will be settled on the night of the Bloodmoon.
