Although it is not entirely to her liking, grief-stricken Satha, a
dark-skinned woman from a poor Theseni clan weds young Loic, the
wealthy Doreni son of the king's First Captain. Loic, graced with
ability to see into the hearts and minds of others, begins to help
Satha overcome her sorrows. Despite coming from different tribes, they
begin to forge a life together. But when Satha's own compassion is used
against her and a treacherous enemy contrives to dishonor her in Loic's
absence, Loic's love turns to anger and disgust. Embittered, Loic must
still avenge his honor and Satha's and he sets out on a journey that
brings despair as well as spiritual discovery. Battling him are the
Arkhai, the spirits of the land who know his quest will lead him toward
the God whom they have usurped. After his departure, Satha is
kidnapped, sold into slavery and learns, first hand, how cruel the
pioneering Angleni tribe can be. Both face great hardship, danger and
anguish apart, but with the Creator's aid there remains hope they will
be reunited and heal the love the world has torn asunder.
