From publisher blurb: The southern seas of the Known Lands are home to a great many islands, some of which appear on no map. Given the treacherous nature of the seas, few of these islands are home to more than a handful of inhabitants, and most hold secrets that those on the mainland cannot even guess. Among these islands is the remote and wondrous island called Nivera. Nivera is a teeming jungle filled with massive reptiles, but it is also a placid cove home to castaways and former pirates, and is also home to a reclusive tribe of faerkin who have embraced their pixie heritage. A frequent re-supply port for seagoers in the region, Nivera is an open secret, but few dare travel past the seashore for fear of the island's predators.
