Civil war has been avoided and now Regent Brent Bairstow rules a land turning to the Church for guidance. Desperate to quell unrest he turns to the new leader of the Church of the New Order and finds nothing is what it seems.

The Gaea Decision has split the draoi and when leadership is needed the Freamhaigh Will Arbor unexpectedly distances himself. Katherine and Dog find themselves faced with a mystery dating back to the Revolution as they struggle to discover the proof to place Edward on the throne.

With Gaea gone, the land must look to those who still hold dear the values that Gaea taught. The draoi are divided, and the Regent losing his power.
