The wind roams through the world of Hara, carrying the past on the sand of lies. No one remembers what once was considered truth—it has long been surrendered to oblivion, and to learn about it, you must catch the wind by the tail.
But what do you do if it turns into bitter wormwood? Will you need the truth you’ve so long craved?
Ness, Laen, and Shen run from a hurricane of war that’s flying on their heels, but ahead awaits a thunderous storm, and there is no salvation from it for either people or the Cursed—because a cruel wormwood wind blows over the plains of Rude, extinguishing crimson sparks of the steppe.
