The Wanderers could see the future: civil war, destruction and death. They could not change it.
In the remnants of a lost empire, the hordes of the Serpent, a newborn god thirsting for blood, are gathering to invade the realm with their dark magic. Dochia, the Wanderer, infiltrates the clergy in the Sanctuary and becomes the newest priest of the Serpent; she needs to close the Sanctuary before the nomad invasion starts. Aliana, a young, powerful Wanderer, arrives to help Dochia. Codrin, the King and Seer of Frankis, is badly wounded after the battle with the nomads. The Circle and the Wanderers join ranks to unify Frankis, Litvonia and Silvania without him. There is a hard pressure on Queen Saliné, who is left alone; two foreign armies have crossed the border into Frankis. A compromise involving the unification of Frankis and Litvonia is found, but there will come a day when decisions made - and those not made - may be regretted.
Revenant is by turns taut medieval fantasy and touching love story, an irresistible read.
