Auraya bliver udvalgt til at blive præstinde, og hun havde aldrig troet at hun ti år senere skulle være en af De Hvide, gudernes mest magtfulde tjenere. Desværre har Auraya kun kort tid til at vænne sig til de usædvanlige kræfter, som guderne har begavet hende med. Mystiske, sortklædte troldmænd og -kvinder fra syden hærger landet med død og ødelæggelser, og rygter om mobiliseringen af en hær når De Hvide. Auraya og de øvrige præster arbejder utrætteligt for at forene det nordlige kontinent under deres banner, men tiden er ved at rinde ud...
