There are no tides more treacherous than those of the heart. —Teek saying The great city of
Tova is shattered. The sun is held within the smothering grip of the Crow God’s eclipse but a
comet that marks the death of a ruler and heralds the rise of a new order is imminent. The
Meridian: a land where magic has been codified and the worship of gods suppressed. How do you
live when legends come to life and the faith you had is rewarded? As sea captain Xiala is
swept up in the chaos and currents of change she finds an unexpected ally in the former Priest
of Knives. For the Clan of Matriarchs of Tova tense alliances form as far-flung enemies gather
and the war in the heavens is reflected upon the earth. And for Serapio and Naranpa both now
living avatars the struggle for free will and personhood in the face of destiny rages. How
will Serapio stay human when he is steeped in prophecy and surrounded by those who desire only
his power? Is there a future for Naranpa in a transformed Tova without her total destruction?
