But not all of Safehold's founders were onboard with this plan. Those dissidents left behind their own secret legacies.

Pursued by armies of jaguar-men, cannibal pigmy lizardmen, powerful necromancers, and fallen friends given over to the blackest evil, Bennett must push forward at all costs or risk being trapped forever.
