Godbond

In the magnificent conclusion to Nancy Springer’s Sea King Trilogy, a mad prince confronts peril and dark magic on a desperate quest to find a lost god in a dying world

They were three, united to hold together a world that was coming apart: Rad Korridun, the sea king, who died three times but lived still; Dannoc, the mad prince of the Red Hart tribe, bonded mind and heart to Kor; and Tassida, the beautiful mystery, a rebellious daughter of the death goddess, who loved them both. But Mahela, the all-powerful Devourer, felt betrayed by her one-time lover Kor, and she attempted to break their bond with anger, disappointment, and jealousy. And so the companions have gone their separate ways.
 
Resuming his lifelong quest to find his god, Dannoc now must confront his greatest terrors and gravest fears in the company of a loyal wolf brother. For only then will he be able to recover his true name, his past, and his sanity—and perhaps save a world.
 
Acclaimed fantasist Nancy Springer brings her remarkable Sea King Trilogy to a breathtaking conclusion with Godbond, following her mad hero through a fantastic world that rivals the fantasy realms created by the great J. R. R. Tolkien in richness and imagination.
