From publisher blurb: "A Demon in the Council" Explorers often say that the vast lands of the continent hold the secrets of the world. Sailors differ, however. They claim it is deep in the seas where the most valuable treasures are. But it is also here where dark, unknown monsters dwell. People in The Broken City respect the ocean and believe it is a matter of faith when the sea takes a ship as a tribute. A trio of sea hags formed a coven in this city a few years ago. Since then, they use their magic and trickery to lure pirates and sailors to devour them. They have sunk countless ships, causing the city to believe that area of the sea is haunted. The three sea witches have corrupted a pirate, who they manipulate as their spy. They bestowed a curse upon him, placing a hag eye around his neck. The coven sees through this magical eye, aware of all those who enter the city.
