There are four new children of the Fait, an event that has never happened before.
If the Fait rule the Cross through the Gift but the Crone delivers the Gift to the Fait, then who truly holds the power? The Fait have ruled for generations. Each time a new child is born, the Crone comes. She delivers the Gift and takes nothing in return, or so they thought. What could be on the horizon that would require four Gifts?
The King and Queen struggle to raise four boys who are not only royal but Gifted as well as running a kingdom under threats from within and without, and now the Fait face a question they have never faced before. What will they do if there is no one to deliver the Gift?
Aron, Luke, Joshua and Jacob grow quick. They must learn to be Princes of the Cross and they must also learn to master their different Gifts. Time is against them. The Crone comes again but this time she comes as an enemy.
