Serapio sits on the throne of Tova as the Carrion King, avatar of the Crow God Reborn. Clan matrons conspire against him from within the city while distant enemies prepare their attacks. In the Maw's shadowed streets, whispers spread of a new prophecy from the Coyote God that threatens Serapio with certain death unless he obeys its commands. War reaches the island of Teek, forcing Xiala back among her own people when they need her most. The sea no longer speaks to her as it once did, leaving her struggling with doubt as her people face the destruction of their magic and their way of life. To become the queen her people were promised, she must give up what she values most. In the northern wastelands, Naranpa seeks to save Tova from the fire-filled visions that plague her sleep. As avatar of the Sun God, she faces a new threat when another presence begins hunting through her nightmares. The Jaguar God stalks her dreams. Three destinies converge as the people of Meridian face their final reckoning in this conclusion to the Between Earth and Sky trilogy.
