About the Book
From the author of “Principles of Angels”, comes a new novel set in that same universe…
When a naked, amnesiac stranger is found outside a remote highland village, he is taken in by Kerin, a widow whose unconventional ways are tolerated because her son Damaru is ‘skytouched’ — he appears simple, but is able to affect matter.
All skytouched are tested by the Beloved Daughter, the living goddess who rules the world from the City of Light. If he's found worthy, Damaru will become a Consort of the skymothers, the Gods of this world.
So Kerin and the stranger, nicknamed Sais, accompany Damaru to the City. Accompanying them is a priest who’s helping Sais get back his missing past. But as Sais recovers his memory, he discovers the true nature of the world — and the unimaginable fate of the Consorts. It is a fate Kerin will do anything to prevent her son from sharing…
