Publisher's blurb: From a distance, the Plain of Mire is a green and pleasant place, but looks are deceiving. The greenery is a mix of stiff, head-high grass and reeds that slice exposed flesh and thick algae mats that hide treacherous murky pools. Fog fills the air morning and evening, so it's easy to get turned around when all you see is grass. The sole landmarks are the continually shifting Circa River and a few small hills. Two of these mounds, Wolf Rock and Finger Hill, are marked by ruins. The third hill, Shadow Ridge, is overgrown with twisted, half-dead trees. Redwater Spring burbles up from the ground and adds its weirdly colored waters to the surrounding pools, and the Suck pulls those who attempt to plumb its depths to their deaths.
