A long time ago, one saint left prophecies, scattering them in the labyrinth of centuries like bread crumbs. Recognizing yourself in tangled lines is only half the problem. How to survive when you realize that it is your hands that will turn the wheel of history? Only kings and executioners know no pity! In the heart of the ancient forest, time stood still, tempting Moran to renounce her destiny. Hanleith is being driven to his death, Archon Morgvath has important business in the capital, and Leto meets his best friend. One day their destinies will intersect, and a hurricane from a crystal sphere will destroy the city. A fierce north wind will sweep over Eimar, and even the hot sands of distant Harmattan will not cool it. What do the chronicles of Eimar lie about? What is the Order of the Guardians hiding? The answers are nearby. The book is a continuation of the novel Soul of the Archon.
