Saved from a tragic fate at the age of six, Eloïra Saint Clare grows up to become the most powerful Child of the Gods in her lineage. Different from everyone else, misunderstood and unhappy, she often seeks refuge at the Faë Cascade—until the day the Master-Warrior of Death, the Ankou, finds her. Eloïra is irresistibly drawn to this being, neither man nor deity... who asks for her help. And he is not the only one in need of her. The god Lug also seeks her aid to break a curse afflicting Larkin and Barabal.

By accepting, the young woman has no idea that she is about to unlock the gates of the Origins and uncover revelations... that will change everything.
