What she gets instead is a fisherman so sunburnt and stinking that her court can barely keep their breakfast down. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Coralys marries the fisherman just as she promised the gods, and sets out with him in his unkempt dinghy, with nothing but hopes of revenge against the gods to keep her from despair.

And he stepped on her dock for a reason. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e His own kingdom besieged, his body terribly wounded, and his place as a god threatened, the fisherman has plans to turn the tides set against him and finally offer a place of refuge for his people.
