For Vion Yorraan, marriage had gotten old, but as the son of a woman who married six times, he never expected much from the institution in the first place. As for Dianna, who lost her mama young and had a papa who never got over the loss, her attempts to keep the peace in their tired marriage weren’t helping.

When Dianna takes a little time away from her husband, neither of them realizes they have set into motion a journey that will keep them apart for months while TrueGod chases them to some of the most unusual locations in all of Balia.

For TrueGod wishes for their hearts, and to do that he shows them the strength and beauty of marriage using mythical cat creatures, people from their pasts, and even a sea monster as he leads them across the Salted Sea. If they learn the lessons he teaches and embrace him as the author of their lives and their love, perhaps one day they will finally get home.
