About the Book
In a time lost in legend, the many Isles of Wenaya were united in worship of Javander, goddess of the seas. From her vast, fantastical palace beneath the waves, Javander presided over a caste of priestesses, linked in a thrumming psychic web. Then the web was broken, Javander's peoples turned to false gods and the priestesses who once served her so well became the evil Sisterhood of the Blue Storm.
Ten boys on the cusp of adulthood arrive on the empty tropical island of Xaro to undergo their Manhood Trial, an age-old ritual meant to build character as they leave childhood behind. They thought they could survive alone. But that was before the killing began. That was before the Blue Storm.
To this island of dark magic comes Jem and his companions, to pursuing their mystic quest for the long-lost crystals of the Orokon, desperate to find Javander's blue jewel before Jem's rival, the anti-god Toth-Vexrah gets there. Never has the quest been so perilous.
Meanwhile the beautiful young Triarch's daughter, Selinda, determined to escape ritual murder, begins a strange odyssey of her own that soon shall entangle her in Jem's quest.
And so begins a bizarre and phantasmagorical tale, where slave galleys, ghost ships, shipwrecks and sea monsters are only preludes to Jem's confrontation with the evil Sisterhood.
Bursting with marvels and strange magic, Sisterhood of the Blue Storm, the fourth volume in Tom Arden's enthralling fantasy epic, is a whirling fantasia of swashbuckling adventure, tragedy and triumph, of comedy and romance, of heart-stopping action and unforgettable, larger-than-life characters, caught up in a quest that shall decide the fate of the world.
