In the aftermath of the devastating battle at Mecq, the Wizard Silvas struggles to cope with his new immortality, a gift from his beloved goddess, Carillia, as she dies in the battle. Original.
This book takes up right where the other ended. Silvas and Maria have stepped through the smoke into the Seven Towers. They begin to make plans for Carillia's shrine when they are contacted by her brother to come to the Celestial City. They find a bubble has been cast over Seven Towers by one of the gods. Bay has decided that Maria needs a horse more like himself since she will continue to accompany Silvas and tires out the common horses too much. They go with him to a wild herd and help hum capture Camus who is nearly his equal in size. Then they begin to prepare themselves for the attack they know is coming from at least 2 of the gods. They are fighting for their right to survive and trying to learn about their new gifts and powers given them by Carillia. They also reach out to old friends and pull them into their circle as well as find new allies.
