On the one hand, foresight is a notoriously erratic Gift. On the other, can Civilization-or the Haosa-afford to assume that the prophecy is an error? And if the Oracle has Seen truly-is it possible to alter the future? While well-meaning people struggle to implement change that might, at least, mitigate a disaster, others are looking toward the profit they can make from the end of the world. In the meantime, the Tree-and-Dragon Trade Team has concluded its whole port inventory, and is about to propose Colemeno as a trade-hub and anchor to a brand-new route. Padi yos'Galan is preparing to step into new roles, personally, and in trade. And the lives of two small children may be the thread that binds the future-or unravels it"--

For centuries, two heroes stood between Tinsori Light and the vulnerable universe-Light Keepers Jen Sin yos'Phelium and Lorith of the Sanderat.

In fact, ships are already incoming, and it becomes a matter of urgency to sort friend from foe. In particular, the Lyre Institute wishes to acquire Tinsori Light, and will do anything, spend anyone, to achieve that goal"--
