<p> As an apology for the apocalypse, the pantheon promised there'd be children born faster, stronger, and more powerful than the survivors they'd be designed to protect. These children would grow to institutionalize under the name of Palisade, come to call themselves Partisans, and conscript each new generation in service to the six territories of Auditoria. </p> <p> Eight-hundred-some years later, Rhian Sinclair is bored. After months of impatiently waiting, she decides it's time the Assembly reverse their punishment for her latest indiscretions. Grumpy and still grounded, Rhian plots her way off the Isle of Palisade and back to work—even if she's sure the next job will be her last. </p> <p> Assigned to an isolated village, Andrei Strauss is resigned. He never wanted to be a priest, and so each night he stands before a dying population and lies. But when something other than disease starts taking the people of Oskari, Andrei reaches out to Palisade for help in solving a series of indiscriminate kidnappings. </p> <p> Old friends are reunited, ancient secrets are revealed, and an assassin and a telepath walk into a bar at some point separately. From legend to life, truth to lie, fiction to fact. </p>
