They all come to the first mountain pass transformed, hardly recognizing the people they once were. - In Book Three, the selection is made and the new crew members learn the basics on their ship, even as the priests stir up the people against them. - These stories are filled with wit-sharpening and skill-honing challenges - mental, emotional, and spiritual - for both the characters and the reader.
