    About this ebook

    Keanu clung to his form. Only Cyrille, his beloved First Follower, kept him from being blown apart by the power of the sea surrounding him.

    Baby gods should never confront the Gods of the Sea. They just shouldn't.

    But the team needed Keanu so he had to cope with the roar of the waves, the pounding of the surf, the tearing at his fragile energies.

    Somehow.

      Living Beginning of the Storm

      Keanu clung to his form, barely maintaining his presence on the moral plane. Really, it was only Cyrille's determined whispered prayers that let him stay there. That plus Xun gripping his elbow and Garnett glaring at him like the demigod Garnett was close to becoming. The three of them kept him grounded even though the power of the ocean hammered against him, drove him away from them with every shush and swirl of the waves.

      Open his fool mouth.

      He never should have commented to High King Truc that the ocean was something he'd never seen up close. Actually, saying that was fine. He should have followed it by babbling about how the mere sight of it from the entrance of the Valley of the Thorns had been so overwhelming that he'd nearly lost his hold on physical form.

      Baby gods should not confront the gods of the sea. They just shouldn't. and Keanu was absolutely a baby god, a demigod with hardly any power at all, so he
