NEW ENTRY IN THE BEST-SELLING LIADEN UNIVERSE(R) SERIES

A world divided cannot stand.

A people divided cannot thrive.

The Oracle has Seen the end of Civilization, and the end of the Haosa, too. Reactions to this are–mixed.

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.
