From Ashes of Empires

Surviving a mutiny by his crew and reuniting with Natke Orino was the easy part of Salla's road to redemption. The hard part lies ahead: find a set of dangerous artifacts known as the Eyes of the One that have lain hidden away and protected by mystical wards for centuries.

In order to locate the Eyes, the pair must follow in the footsteps of master explorer Dalte duCarde. The journey takes them half a world away and into a savage, primordial jungle...one from which duCarde never emerged.

All the while, time is running out. The Gargazant Ikahn syndicate is at the precipice of discovering the lost city of Tempusalist. If they succeed, the mad overlord at their helm-the 13th Paragon himself-will possess all he needs to transform his legions into an unstoppable army, one poised to crush every single nation on the planet.
