Overview
Sarah Calhoun has taken her fatherās throne and ascended into her goddessās presence in Unfallen Eden, as her father never did.Ā
And now young Sarah Calhoun is dying.Ā
Her uncle Thomas Penn isnāt done with her. Armed with new powers conferred upon him by the Necromancer and with new allies won via his impending marriage, Penn aims to remove Sarah from her throneāand from the world of the living. In the meantime, Sarah has fallen out with one of her best allies. Against Sarahās advice, her brother Nathaniel heads into Imperial Philadelphia with the reckless and likely impossible aim of healing the Emperor Thomas.Ā
On the shores of the northern seas, agents of Franklinās Conventicle with an unlikely connection to the Emperor struggle to win allies among the pole-dwelling giants, who are torn between seizing land covertly from the Firstborn of the Ohio and entering the war openly on the side of Simon Sword. In the west, the Heron King rides an explosive storm into war, crushing the mortal kingdoms in his path and bearing down on Sarahās Cahokia.
To surviveāand to gain the strength she needs to fight this impossible warāSarah must unite the Moundbuilder kings to enact an ancient rite that will propel her beyond mortality. To do so, she must not only win over doubters among the Firstborn kings, but she must also beat back a rebellion among the Handmaids of her goddessāfor there are some of the goddessās priestesses who long for the dark days of human sacrifice, and who are willing to throw Sarah herself upon the altar.

āButlerās fantasy is by turns sardonic and lighthearted; ghoulish shadows claw into the most remote areas and heroism bursts out of the most unlikely people.
