Publisher's summary

At eight winter’s-old Alisiin Garow’s isolated life begins to change after the Spell Surges from the Battle of Polen Tare reach the Village of the Border People. She is the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter and the Clairvoyan Nebba declares her Eppadoon, an agent of change. Alisiin is fated to face death at a young age with a glimmer of hope if she can rise above. If she dies, what was lost cannot be found, the falcon may not soar, and the nations will mourn. The weight of the world will be borne on the shoulders of a tiny girl.The victory at Polen Tare creates nearly as many problems as it solved. Daniel Benhannon sues for peace with the Zuethan Empire and achieves his goals through the Ra-Anan Accords. Powerful Nephilim within the empire launch plots and schemes to provoke him into violating the peace. The successful efforts to snuff out the flames ignited by his enemies in the end achieve their goals. The abduction of his daughter tempts him into endangering the lives of millions in the attempt to locate her.Imperial fleets cruise toward the Maiden Isles and a confrontation with the air and naval power of the Atlantan Guild, unless Daniel can convince Emperor El Zeuller to order his fleet of Majestic-class battlecruisers, Imperial-Grands, and a new fleet of swift and deadly vessels to change course.Daniel’s uninhibited impulses lead him into accepting a challenge to the Justice-Mortis over the imperial palace in Zeuthans, but can a fight to the death prevent war or only postpone it.
