When gods are real, people become playthings. For a thousand years Shandiin has lived among the people of Azlatan, biding her time until she can free them from the control of their divine rulers and return to what is left of her world. But even if she succeeds, she cannot stop the Prophecy War that will follow. Hoping to save the people she must leave behind, she has turned a bright spirit born to mercy and compassion into a warrior. A killer. A King who could win a war. Her defiance comes with a cost. The strange High King is feared as much as he is respected.

Shandiin walks the margins of humanity in a world teetering on the edge of ruin. The regime in power points fingers at science and sinners, casting genetically enhanced individuals as "abominations" to be hunted down. Yet amidst the chaos, Shandiin encounters a clandestine network led by a brilliant genetic engineer racing to preserve what remains of humanity. Their plan? To escape to a new world, bringing with them a bloodline of leaders designed to succeed where Earth’s civilizations have failed.
