First published 2015
Orlaith Arminger Mackenzie stands at the edge of a new war. Forty-six years have passed since the Change destroyed all high-energy technology and killed most of humanity. The survivors rebuilt their world from the ashes, creating new kingdoms and ways of life. Now Orlaith and her generation face enemies that care nothing for human survival or human values. These forces threaten everything the post-Change world has built. The young princess must navigate political alliances and ancient powers as humanity prepares for another struggle against extinction. Born into a world without machines or electricity, Orlaith has never known the old world her grandparents lost. But she understands what her people might lose if they fail. The battle ahead will test whether the children of the Change can protect the civilization their parents fought to create.
