In the summer of 1914, in a world poised on the brink of madness, a young man beyond reproach awakens with no memory of recent events - grievously injured, under police guard, and accused of a heinous, impossible murder.
A troupe of penniless actors makes its way across a dangerous, unpredictable land - and stands by helplessly as its youngest member is taken prisoner by the loyal minions of a corrupt and vengeful goddess. For an elaborate ancient prophecy has split the realm's ruling Deities into warring factions - a prophecy that mentions the captive crippled child...and a youth recuperating from mysterious wounds in a British hospital bed.
But slavery is not to be Eleal Singer's fate - as resourcefulness, courage, chance and dragon carry her ever-closer to her perilous foretold meeting with the one who will bring death to Death. Nor will the gallows claim Edward Exeter on this explosive eve of World War. For, across a mystical threshold, there are new worlds for him to explore...and deliver.
