Tassi has been cleared of attempting to assassinate the Queen, and now her sixteenth birthday is fast approaching. For a follower of Atrios, that means Transition, when one becomes an adult. Tassi wants to go home to Falodirian for that, so she, Niari, Carlitha and all their friends, including the King and Queen, prepare to set out on the journey, accompanying Keladryn and his party as they head home.
But, the New Elithimites may not be finished with them yet.
Meanwhile Warin, goddess of prophecy and destiny, with the rather dubious help of her Uncle Atrios and the rather more useful aid of her mother, Cazovania, is working on getting Niari and Keladryn together. That mating is an essential part of the Plan of the gods, and Niari and Keladryn have been in love for years, so it should be a simple task. But several years ago, the evil goddess Elithim tried to cheat by changing a prophecy, and that had repercussions that no one, not even Warin herself, was prepared for. One of those was that Keladryn became Atrios’ high priest. That’s a major problem because the priests of Atrios have always been celibate. Atrios has been persuaded to change that law. The problem is convincing Keladryn that something he always believed was wrong is now not only right, but necessary. The three-week journey to Falodirian seems the perfect opportunity to convince him that he can’t live without Niari.
But, with Atrios obstructing Warin at every turn, that’s going to be a lot more work than it ought to be.
