| # | Title | POV | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Brass Thief | Mira Osk | Pickpocket Mira Osk steals a strange brass compass from Warden captain Varr Dane in Port Hallow. A hooded stranger warns her that it points at drowned things, gives her an unsigned letter naming Ilith, and tells her to flee on the salt barge before the harbour closes. |
| 2 | The Salt Barge | Mira Osk | Mira Osk and Tobin Reed flee Port Hallow on the salt barge Patience with the tidecaller Seren of Esk, who drains the harbour to escape Captain Varr Dane's cutter after Varr reveals he knew Mira's mother. Tobin goes overboard but climbs back aboard, and Mira glimpses a silver Warden hook hidden in the collar of the deckhand Pell. |
| 3 | What the Water Keeps | Mira Osk | The Patience finds sunken Ilith, and Seren of Esk tells the Esk account of how its tidecallers drowned the city. Seren cannot remember writing the unsigned letter. Mira Osk dives into the drowned bell tower and recovers a second brass compass lying beside a pole bearing the Grey Wardens' silver hook; both compasses then point back toward Port Hallow, where Tobin Reed is to hang in six days. |
