Set in an alternate Europe where bloody conflicts rage, the sixth
book of the Crown of Stars epic fantasy series continues the
world-shaking conflict for the survival of humanity The lost land
of the Aoi has returned at last to the earth from which it was cast
forth millennia ago. And as tsunamis, earthquakes, and firestorms
reshape the very land and seas, darkness descends everywhere. With
the war for empire disrupted, all sides must regroup. And though
the battle for survival must be the primary focus of all concerned,
there are always those eager to seize power, no matter at what
cost. Though King Henry demanded with his last breath that Prince
Sanglant accept his crown, many may refuse to honor the dying
king's wish. Liath, Sanglant's wife, has been excommunicated and
unless he agrees to put her aside, his own aunt, Mother
Scholastica, is threatening to interdict Sanglant and all who
follow him. And though he and Liath long to search for their
missing daughter, Blessing, the demands of statecraft hold them
hostage to Sanglant's newly constituted court. Henry's wife,
Adelheid, is determined to regain control of their empire. But she
has let Antonia proclaim herself the new skopos, the Holy Mother
who rules over all of the church. And Antonia has already proved
herself an extremely dangerous ally. The Aoi are divided between
those who seek only to rebuild and warriors determined to claim
revenge against the humans. Stronghand, too, is consolidating his
gains for his combined Eika/Alban empire, bent on further
conquests, drawn in part by the bond he still shares with Alain.
And even as Liath seeks out the forbidden magic that could bring
back the light of day, new alliances are forming and old ones being
abandoned. Only time will tell who-if anyone-will emerge triumphant
as cultures, religions, and races clash in the ultimate struggle
for control of this strange new world....
