More than a century has passed since Liliath crept into the empty sarcophagus of Saint Marguerite, fleeing the Fall of Ystara But she emerges from her magical sleep still beautiful, looking no than nineteen, and once again renews her single minded quest to be united with her lover, Palleniel, the archangel of Ystara.A seemingly impossible quest, but Liliath is one of the greatest practitioners of angelic magic to have ever lived, summoning angels and forcing them to do her bidding.Liliath knew that most of the inhabitants of Ystara died from the Ash Blood plague or were transformed into beastlings, and she herself led the survivors who fled into neighboring Sarance Now she learns that angels shun the Ystaran s descendants If they are touched by angelic magic, their blood will turn to ash They are known as Refusers, and can only live the most lowly lives.But Liliath cares nothing for the descendants of her people, save how they can serve her It is four young Sarancians who hold her interest Simeon, a studious doctor in training Henri, a dedicated fortune hunter Agnez, an adventurous musketeer cadet and Dorotea, an icon maker and scholar of angelic magic They are the key to her quest.The four feel a strange kinship from the moment they meet, but do not know why, or suspect their importance All become pawns in Liliath s grand scheme to fulfill her destiny and be united with the love of her life No matter the cost to everyone else.
