The Rheni's Dream, a two-masted raider, races towards Malaz Island. They are pushing ahead of a storm that has arisen with unnatural speed. Captain Murl's heart is seized with dread as the azure flashes from the storm's base have all the hallmarks of the Stormriders, a race of sea-demons who slay trespassers without mercy. He questions Lack-eye, his cousin and the ship's tillerman, "Did we forget any of the offerings?" None but the last and most desperate, is the reply. Murl refuses to consider human sacrifice. The crew are all members of his family.

  • The Rheni's Dream, a two-masted raider, races towards Malaz Island. They are pushing ahead of a storm that has arisen with unnatural speed. Captain Murl's heart is seized with dread as the azure flashes from the storm's base have all the hallmarks of the Stormriders, a race of sea-demons who slay trespassers without mercy. He questions Lack-eye, his cousin and the ship's tillerman, "Did we forget any of the offerings?" None but the last and most desperate, is the reply. Murl refuses to consider human sacrifice. The crew are all members of his family. Murl notes that Rheni, his Sea Witch, and Mole, his lookout, have already succumbed to the unnatural cold. First mate Hoggen prepares to break out boarding weapons, but Murl considers it hopeless, the ship is already encrusting with ice and slowing down. Suddenly a Rider appears in the crashing waves beside the ship. Murl attempts to aim the ship's scorpion in its direction, but the weapon is frozen solid. Lack-eye now stares silently from where he has frozen solid to the ship's wheel. The ice-heavy ship groans as it partially submerges under a large wave and Murl is no longer on deck. Ice begins to solidify around the ship as the Riders and a flotilla of icebergs follow on its flanks. Malaz City is dead ahead.
