The remnants of the Seven Most Holy’s protection of Aeona live on in the divine elements, wielded to this day by intercessors like Therise and Anisha.

When Therise discovers Anisha’s dead body, her rage accidentally piques the Seven Most Holy’s interest, killing the enemy soldiers she blames for Anisha’s death. After her loss of control triggers the war they had all been dreading, Therise flees to the neighboring empire. Even there, Therise’s guilt threatens to overwhelm her until Anisha’s grieving lover hunts her down and questions Therise’s understanding of Anisha’s demise.

Their shared quest for redemption and the truth leads Therise and the swordsman back to Aeona, to confront the darkness that threatens to unleash the Seven Most Holy’s wrath on the world. Along the way, they will be tested like they have never been tested before – to leave behind who they are if they want to create the world Anisha believed in.
