Before the seers of the Cathedral of Ashlin, the faithful bow in reverence and fear. Maidens whose eyes are always hidden by the thinnest veil can reshape human destinies—because only they are granted the secret of reading the omens sent by the Prophetic gods.
Sibil, who has never lived beyond the cathedral walls, is accustomed to worship. Both nobles and common folk are ready to cross the endless wastes of the kingdom, if only she will lift the veil on what is to come.
But there are also those who remain deaf to her prophecies. For example, the mysterious knight from the royal retinue—Rodrik Mindashes. Three earrings in his ear, a tongue as sharp as a blade, and cutting words instead of courtesy—yet it is he who understands best of all the rules by which the world of ordinary people breathes.
And when the seers disappear from the cathedral one after another, Sibil has nothing left but to rely on him. On the brute who is not afraid to challenge her gods. On the heretic whose future she is not given the power to see.
