Against his wishes and desires, Akabe of Siphra has been chosen by his people to be King. But what does a warrior know of ruling during peacetime? Guided by the Infinite, Akabe seeks to rebuild the Temple in the city of Munra to give the sacred books of Parne a home. But dangerous factions are forming in the background. To gain the land he needs, Akabe must forsake the yearnings of his heart and instead align himself through marriage to the Thaenfall family.
Meanwhile, Kien Lantec and Ela Roeh are drawn still closer together...while becoming pawns in a quest to gain power over the region. As questions of love and faith become tangled with lies and murderous plots, each must seek the Infinite to guide them through an ever more tangled web of intrigue and danger.
When I started reading this book, I was so confused. I liked Barth, the little servant for the King and the prophet, but I was utterly confused about everything else. It wasn't until the end of the book until I got some parts of it.
I would highly recommend reading the first two books of the series before jumping to this book though. It would help a lot.
Because of my confusion, I didn't get a lot out from this book because I was still trying to figure out what the book was about as I was reading.
