This is his family; this is his temple; this is his God. High Priest SรRak has mostly recovered from the wing fungus, but he has to repair the damage done to the temple before he can return to Koilatha. Captain Jisten has very definite ideas about life and death, and SรRakรs plans challenge those beliefs but not in a good way. Will Jisten be able to come to terms with a service that not only permits, but also requires, human sacrifice? Or will this conflict be the one to tear the partners apart? In distant Zoth, SรTyll is on the run with Siol and Rasten, stolen right out of the palace from under King Narvainรs nose. SรPajel rides with the slave trackers, but heรs not sure that heรll be able to delay them enough for SรTyll to make good his escape. Sun mage Teson still loves Pikara, even as heรs collared for it. Will love win out? Will Rakรs sons make it to freedom? Or will Narvainรs cruel grip claim them all?
