There are very few chances left for the City to survive. And yet, even then, the faults that brought the Sea People to this end are worse than ever. As the last chances fade only one of the favourites is left to defend the City from the gathering enemies. But she knows how it will end and it is duty, not hope, that keeps her there until the end she knows is coming. Mars and the Sea People is the last volume of the Fall of the Sea People fantasy.
