During the early months of her spiritual crisis, when the messages from Ophia first disrupted her life with havoc and inspiration, Colleen Addison was surrounded by people who mirrored her fear that she was delusional.
But those who orchestrate world events from the shadows believe that Sacred Timbre, the lore with which the Shaini of Ophia wrought a civilization of wonders, is no product of madness or fantasy. For this shadow government, Colleen has become a person of interest.
And her predicament echoes across the Partition, where the Rupture's scattered survivors endure hinterlands and underworld sanctuaries as the Shetain priesthood asserts religious tyranny over Ophia.
Esperidi Mon-Sequana, aching to liberate and heal her dying homeland, embarks upon a desperate quest to revive the ancient powers that once sustained it. But she's plagued by her inadequacies and the growing conviction that she can't accomplish her task alone. Before her way can be made clear, she must find some way to reconnect with her Sister-Soul on a world called Earth.
