If you want to change a man, change his god. The Sacred Land is in turmoil, and the terrible judgment foreseen by the prophets even now wings its way over the sea. A bloodthirsty queen reigns in the Holy City, and the dragon-headed god Kimash is ascendant. For Alack, forced into unwilling service to a ruthless conqueror; Rechab, caught in a net of tragedy and treason; and Flora, delivered into the hands of her enemies, it seems all hope is lost. But hope does not die easily. The story in the stars may yet hold a surprise for all who dare read it--and for all who dare risk everything to save their souls.
