An ancient magic is loosed when a long-forgotten chant used in a ritual for children is passed from a dying woman to Ordan, one of the mezhdu from Midbar. Mezhdu are those whose spirits are born into the bodies of the wrong gender and often find they are linked telepathically; each possess a special gift so they may help in providing balance and stability to their communities.When Ordan is near death because of an accident, Batal uses her Tear of Amphedia in an attempt to heal him. Because he is bonded with the others, the message of the ancient magic is broadcast quickly throughout the various lands, leaving a wave of unexpected changes, and death, in its wake.The Earth Goddess, Giya, is furious when she discovers she has been shadowed throughout her entire existence by gods Lumas once brought to her world for the very purpose of keeping Giya safe. But even they cannot halt the inevitable demise of Sov, the Sun God, as he begins his transformation into his natural state as a Firebird to fend off Amphedia's attack. Denit, too, is vulnerable to her father's pleas to allow him to be the one to rise again as the Sun Child. Nor has Siri Ventus, the Goddess of Air, been idle. For the first time in centuries, she speaks her twin brother's name aloud, causing him to race to her side. He wants desperately for her to leave with him, no matter if Sov lives or dies. Until he learns the secret of his nightmare visions.
