The journal had been the only thing left behind, a cryptic record of his last days. It was in this journal that she had found a description of a strange bracelet, mentioned in passing but with an unmistakable sense of urgency. The bracelet was described as an ancient artifact, linked to powers that went beyond understanding. Her father had searched for it for years, and now, Marta was holding it in her hands.

Captain Zaid Zemeni
The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished. Only the worthy can perceive it. “Strange thing to carve into stone,” Mac, my second mused. The words, old and eaten by rain and wind lined the arch of the perimeter gate. Behind it a castle thrust from cliff face, almost like a crystal that had grown from the stone.

Beneath a Bloody Sky: Legends of Worswit – The Blood Rain Prophecy (unabridged)

A War of Skulls and Horses
The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished. From the balcony of the royal keep, Thaudal Fairrehule watched the Loch drain through rivers and canals. As a boy, Thaudal was fascinated by the intricate system of locks that could turn Avergion into an impenetrable island at a moment's notice. The moment Gavrul’s army appeared, the garrison unleashed the flood waters onto the lowlands surrounding Avergion. Thaudal shuddered at its implications. Would she haunt him too? Would she be nothing more than a ghost of his boyhood joy?

The Whispering Key

Berganashio - Chapter 19
The meerbirds heard Larkin and followed him to the best of their ability. The sea-wolf ship continued to splinter and flail around like a pierced octopus. Sea-wolfs were scattering all over the place. Some of the sea-wolfs chased after the fleeing meerbirds and merfaries but they realized it was no used once most of them were off, high into the sky.
