The Storm Witch - 9780756405748

Dhulyn Wolfshead and Parno Lionsmane were members of the Mercenary Guild, veterans of numerous battles and missions, each a master of martial arts. But more than that Dhulyn and Parno were Partners, a Mercenary bond that could only be broken by one or both of their deaths.
Now Dhulyn and Parno have returned to their Mercenary House to clear themselves of accusations of kidnapping and murder. But before they can resolve these charges, old friends are taken hostage by the Long Ocean Nomads, and they are forced to come to the rescue, agreeing to trade their services for the release of their friends. As they reluctantly set sail, Dhulyn is convinced they are journeying to Parno's death, which she has foreseen in numerous Visions as occurring in a drowning at sea.
Though Dhulyn will do everything she can to avoid her Visions being realized, in her heart she knows they are sailing to their doom. But even her visions have not prepared Dhulyn for the trials that await them amidst the Long Ocean Nomads - a people blessed with a unique power of their own - the ability to speak mind to mind. For when Parno discovers that he shares this gift with them, Dhulyn begins to feel more and more isolated. And then the destiny she has dreaded becomes all too real, when - roused by the magic of the Storm Witch, a powerful spirit from ages past who has taken possession of a young princess' body - the waters of the Long Ocean turn deadly.
