Cormac knows that as Swordthane, the fate of the Land of Otherwhere rests on his shoulders.

Now he faces his first major decision. Should he and the Princess continue east on the Greenway to arrive, finally, at Rivershome? If they do that, Cormac will keep the promise he made to the dying Fulton. The wisdom and advice of the Council of Elders will guide him toward fulfilling his destiny. Or should they turn south, where a devastating curse lies on the land. Should they cleanse it and so save the children?

South to Adventure, the second book in the Swordthane Saga, is the continuing tale of Cormac's adventures as Swordthane as he continues to fulfill his destiny.
