As the Solstice approaches our heroes gather on the decks of their respective ships, to mull over what has happened and the things yet to come...'All at Sea' is the fifth installment of 'To Walk the Path', the final book in 'The Star Plague Journals'.When wars last for generations, it doesn't matter how they began......it only matters how they end. And this one seems that it could end only by their defeat. Waeryehenian troops are getting closer to the capital city every day. The kingdom of Ahleyn, ruled by Queen Natya and controlled completely by women, had lost more than a half of its territory. Besides that, Zal attacks from the savage land of Ro-Oth are also getting more frequent. Ahleas can't even seem to control male rebellions any more. A great kingdom is falling apart, both from inside and out...People of Ahleyn keep in memory the first glorious years of war, when they were the ones winning the battles. One stupid mistake made the course of war to turn around. But they can now hardly even remember the days of peace, when the Great Continental pact with Waeryehen and Koron was a guarantee of peace. It was also broken by just a few foolish acts of only one person...Unfotunately, all this horror has made almost everyone on the Continent to completely forget that even greater danger had existed in ancient times and that it can happen again...
