Darkness threatens Ranadon again in the form of an eclipse.
The Goddess wants to give the people of Ranadon a sign—and
only Dirk Provin can interpret it.
To do so, Dirk has systematically betrayed his one-time allies to
join his most hated enemies. Now, with neither side trusting
him, Dirk sets his own devious plot in motion.
Also living in danger is Senet’s Crippled Prince, Misha, who
has found unexpected and tenuous sanctuary among the
Baenlanders of Mil. To secure their trust, he offers them the
one thing they can not refuse. Meanwhile, Alenor, Queen
of Dhevyn, betrayed by her husband, Kirsh, and Tia
Veran, deceived by Dirk, set out for revenge and to finally
free their people at any cost.
As the second sons and the rest of their generation pursue
different paths to survival and freedom, they discover that the
will of the Goddess—and of men—works in mysterious ways.
And as Dirk’s old enemies join with new ones, his attempt to
save Ranadon may cost him his friends, his love... andhis life.
