Summary
Moirin is alone, and far from the land
of her birth, with nothing but a few resources of her own to
draw upon, and few friends she can call upon, in what is about
to become a nation of enemies.She has her natural ability with
a bow, for survival, and a facility for languages - and then
there are the gifts of her gods: a small ability for
foretelling, for concealment, and to coax plants to grow.
Alongside them all she has the gift of Naamah: the gift of
desire. Yet these are small advantages against the challenges
she will face - betrayal, treachery and indoctrination - and
some of them may not prove to be advantages at all.There is a
long, difficult journey ahead of her, in her search for Bao,
the young Ch'in warrior who carries a piece of her soul as well
as her heart, and harder decisions to make. Whether she can
forgive a deliberate betrayal; whether she will fight against
all odds for her love; and whether, when all believe her dead
and her life and her religion hang in the balance, Moirin can
sacrifice her beliefs, or will hold true to her goddess even in
death . . .
