Sarah Calhoun has taken her father's throne and ascended to her goddess's presence, a feat her father never achieved. However, she is dying, and her uncle, Thomas Penn, is determined to dethrone her. Armed with new powers from the Necromancer and bolstered by an impending marriage, Penn seeks to eliminate Sarah from both her throne and the living world. Meanwhile, Sarah's relationship with a close ally has soured as her brother Nathaniel, against her wishes, ventures into Imperial Philadelphia with the reckless goal of healing Emperor Thomas. On the northern shores, agents of Franklin's Conventicle, linked to the Emperor, are trying to gain support from the pole-dwelling giants, who face a dilemma between seizing land from the Firstborn of the Ohio and openly joining Simon Sword's cause. In the west, the Heron King unleashes chaos, threatening Sarah's Cahokia. To survive and gain the strength needed for this daunting war, Sarah must unite the Moundbuilder kings to perform an ancient rite that will elevate her beyond mortality. This requires winning over skeptics among the Firstborn kings while quelling a rebellion among her goddess's Handmaids, some of whom yearn for the dark past of human sacrifice and are willing to sacrifice Sarah herself.
