After rescuing the Gypsies from destruction at the hands of the
emperor, the warrior farmers of Pravik have returned home to dwell
above ground. But peace is proving to be as dangerous as war, as
their food stores run out and they find themselves unable to go
beyond the city to grow crops. Neighbouring towns, afraid of the
rumours they've heard about Pravik, are unwilling to trade with
them. When emissaries arrive from the emperor, inviting the
Ploughman to form an alliance with him, he has no choice but to go.
Along with Professor Huss, the Darkworld prince Harutek, and an
unwilling Maggie, he rides for Athrom. But in doing so, he ignores
the vision of the blind seer Virginia Ramsey, who has seen deadly
consequences at the end of the Ploughman's journey. Desperate for
help from another source, Virginia sets out on a journey of her
own, accompanied by the Darkworld priestess Rehtse - a journey to
find the King and bring him to Pravik's aid. Their parallel
journeys will at last open the way to the worlds unseen, bringing
in powers, terrors, beauties, and a final confrontation no one
could imagine. Central to the fate of their world are the Gifted:
the Singer, Seer, Healer, Listener, Warrior, and Voice. Coming Day
is the third book in the Seventh World Trilogy.
The Council for Exploration Into Worlds Unseen believed there was
more to the world and its history than the empire had taught them.
Treating ancient legends as history, they came a little too close
to the truth. Betrayed by one of their own, the Council was torn
apart before they could finish their work. Forty years later,
Maggie Sheffield just wants to leave the past behind. Memories of
the Orphan House where she grew up are fading; memories of her
guardians' murder are harder to shake. When a dying friend shows up
on her doorstep bearing the truth about the Seventh World--in the
form of a written covenant with evil--Maggie is sent on a journey
that will change her forever. Along with the Gifted gypsy Nicolas
Fisher, who hears things no one else can, Maggie joins with the
last surviving members of the Council and a group of eastern rebels
led by a ploughman and a princess to discover the truth. It won't
be easy. The Seventh World has long been controlled by the
Blackness, and its monstrous forces are already on Maggie's trail.
