Book Summary
When the Sleepers wake.
Once, that phrase meant
never. The Sleepers were a myth, part of a story told to
children. But in truth, the Sleepers, ancient princes in the
court of the Winter Queen, were imprisoned in slumber by the
gods themselves—in the cold, dark ruins of the ancient city
that lies buried beneath the capitol of the Empire. And that
prison is fraying, at last.
They are
waking.
Jewel ATerafin has faced the Oracle's test.
She has control of the prophetic powers that she once
considered a curse and a burden. She will find her way to
the Winter Queen, and she will ask—or beg—the Winter Queen
to intervene to save her kind, her House, and everything she
loves.
But she is mortal, and time has never been her
friend. The demons are waiting to bar her way, bringing
battle to the hidden ancient paths on which she must travel.
To win, she must face the true meaning of the Oracle's
test, and risk sanity and life to make the choice that has
always lurked at the heart of the firstborn's
test.
And even then, it might be too late.
