She was brave and curious, but she had never been able to fly. Elara wanted to have wings of her own so much that she occasionally dreamt of them. She watched the Sky Sprites dance through the air, circling the tops of trees and flying over the beautiful lakes. She wanted to glide on gentle breezes and reach the highest rainbow arches that stretched across the valley. She also wanted to explore the ancient floating islands that are said to float far above the sky. But she never said this out loud since she believed it was too ridiculous, particularly because Lyria was so beautiful.

Invalided out of the police force after a shootout that almost killed her, antique dealer Rebecca Cloudwebb is delivering a pair of earrings to Flora Melkiot, elderly resident of the exclusive Olympus House condominiums. At Flora’s request, she brings them to the so-called Jewel exercise class—the better for her to show them off to the other women—where the newest member of the class, a suburban transplant named Laura Tyler, is horribly murdered by a dose of drain cleaner in her health water.

Stage psychic Sandra Caulder feels as if she has gone out of the frying pan and into the fire. On the run from a vengeful ex-boyfriend, she heads for the least likely place she can think of–Egypt. Her niece is working on a dig there, but Sandra is told she cannot stay. Right after her arrival, though, a very unpleasant Egyptologist is murdered and as she is the prime suspect, Sandra is told she cannot leave.

Kenton and his people have sacrificed everything to collect the godstones, the only power that can hold back the onslaught of the tyrannical nation of Sevairn as it expands across the Five Lands. With the forces of deity in their hands, the godbearers are ready to begin their fight against Diamis, dictator of Sevairn and powerful blood mage. But Diamis is in the process of recovering his most powerful weapon—his daughter Daniella, created by dark magics and unimaginable cruelty—who he seeks to bring back under his control.

Mortiche-home of the famous knighthood, land of oaths of fidelity and honor, and the lone sovereign nation still standing against the armies of Sevairn. Kenton, Daniella, and their group of godbearers take refuge here as they search for the next of the godstones, holy receptacles where the gods themselves have been housed for millennia.

Kenton is the last of his people, desperately searching for others who can aid in his quest to unearth the gods from their hiding places and restore goodness and order to the world. As Kenton gathers together the legendary godbearers - who are said to be able to retrieve the gods, wherever they lie - he finds an unlikely ally in Daniella, the daughter of the dictator himself. Daniella is tired of being her father's puppet, all too eager to be out of his grasp. But as they travel together, Kenton begins to suspect she may be something far more dangerous than a dictator's pawn.
