In a land where a cruel and jealous god holds sway, the currents of history converge to pluck one young girl from obscurity and thrust her blinking into the maelstrom of world events. Stilitha Zandravo, daughter of a priest, had led a quiet and uneventful life on the island of Eudora in the religious state of Vhanakhor.

An equally unlikely love imperils the foundation of her world, tears her away from the simple circumstances of her upbringing and thrusts her into the heart of imperial politics.
