Book description
In her new role as protector of the Siyee, Auraya investigates
sightings of a landwalker stranger in their land. She meets a mysterious
woman claiming to be a friend of Mirar's: a woman who makes an offer
Auraya is unable to refuse, but which she must conceal or risk the wrath
of the gods. In the south, Mirar enjoys acceptance and respect as he
reclaims his place among his people, but that freedom will come at a
cost. Meanwhile, Emerahl is at last able to join the Thinkers in their
search for the Scroll of the Gods, but the truth may not be revealed in
the form she expects. And the Pentadrians, frustrated by their defeat at
the hands of the Circlians, plot and scheme to bring down their enemies
by means other than direct conflict. As the promise of peace dies, and
two peoples are once more drawn inexorably into war, Auraya is unable to
avoid being caught up the conflict. The key to everything, though, may
lie with the Wilds, who embark upon a quest for secrets buried long ago.
