Sarah Calhoun has taken her father’sthrone and ascended into her goddess’s presence in Unfallen Eden as herfather never did. 

And SarahCalhoun is dying. 

Her uncleThomas Penn isn’t done with her. Armed with new powers conferred upon himby the Necromancer and with new allies won via his impending marriage, Penn aimsto remove Sarah from her throne—and from the world of the living. In themeantime, Sarah has fallen out with one of her best allies. AgainstSarah’s advice, her brother Nathaniel heads into Imperial Philadelphiawith the reckless and likely impossible aim of healing the EmperorThomas. 

On the shores of thenorthern seas, agents of Franklin’s Conventicle with an unlikelyconnection to the Emperor struggle to win allies among the pole-dwelling giants,who are torn between seizing land covertly from the Firstborn of the Ohio andentering the war openly on the side of Simon Sword. In the west, the Heron Kingrides an explosive storm into war, crushing the mortal kingdoms in his path andbearing down on Sarah’sCahokia.

To survive—and to gainthe strength she needs to fight this impossible war—Sarah must unite theMoundbuilder kings to enact an ancient rite that will propel her beyondmortality. To do so, she must not only win over doubters among the Firstbornkings, but she must also beat back a rebellion among the Handmaids of hergoddess—for there are some of the goddess’s priestesses who long forthe dark days of human sacrifice, and who are willing to throw Sarah herselfupon the altar.
