About

The ancient csestriim are back to finish their purge of humanity; armies march against the capital; leaches, solitary beings who draw power from the natural world to fuel their extraordinary abilities, maneuver on all sides to affect the outcome of the war; and capricious gods walk the earth in human guise with agendas of their own.

But the three imperial siblings at the heart of it all- Valyn, Adare, and Kaden- come to understand that even if they survive the holocaust unleashed on their world, there may be no reconciling their conflicting visions of the future.
