"You, yourself, are the most powerful of omens... There is nothing more powerful than the power of the unknown and the emotion that it stirs."An eventful year has passed since Jaci crashed onto the wild world of Acedia. Now, she's been taken captive by a war-chief whose clan has invaded the land she'd settled to call home. Taken from her family, removed from any means of contacting her people, and fearful of being regained by the emperor's people who may enslave her to a temple, or maybe sacrifice her to appease the gods, Jaci's perceived power as being the Omen is proving far more dangerous than she ever imagined. As she is taken across the realm, the limits of what she's willing to do are tested, not just by the chief's ruthless ways, but by the interest of a powerful priest who believes she is the forerunner of the return of the gods, people from the stars, and discoveries left behind from when those people once walked this land. Trapped between the opposing factions of the world and beyond which seem to be drawing towards an inevitable conflict, can Jaci endure long enough to reunite with her warrior husband and newborn son?
