Book description
A thousand years in the future, the earth has been conquered by an
alien race and covered by a single sea. Dovirr Stargan, who is disgusted
with the servility of his life on the floating city of Vythain, longs to
become one of the Sea-Lords, who roam the sea as powerful protectors of
the cities. Dovirr gets his wish, but the return of the alien race
brings unexpected and critically dangerous crises to his new life as he
learns the real, sometimes terrible, significance of power. (First
