For two hundred years the Exhalted classes have used their dazzling magical abilities to rule
Vonahr. Now, their powers grown slack from disuse and their attention turned to decadent
pleasures, they ignore the misery of the lower classes until the red tide of revolution sweeps
across the land. Thrust into the center of the conflict is the beautiful Eliste vo Derrivalle, spirited
daughter of a provincial landowner, who must now scramble for bread in the teeming streets of
the capital. With the key to her magical abilities and elusive secret, she must suddenly find a way
to survive in a world gone mad . . . with liberty.
