The second volume begins where the first ended, but the country has changed. The cartographer's maps no longer agree with the ground beneath them. The weaver has stopped weaving. The soldier is missing, and the dream that had not yet happened has begun to happen — slowly, and to other people first.

Ryn must travel a longer road than he intended, into the country of the Old Houses, where his name carries weight he was never trained to bear. He learns that the dreams were not a gift but an inheritance with debts attached, and the storms gathering on the western horizon are not weather but a reckoning.

Through The Storms is a book about what you owe to the people who came before you, and what you owe to the ones who haven't been born yet. It is, despite the title, the quieter of the two.
