Witness to her parent's murder, Meredydd-a-Lagan is taken in by a teacher of the Divine Art and eventually apprenticed to the Meri—a bridge to the Spirit of the Universe—but she never forgets her vow of vengeance. Original.

One hundred years after she was called to the sea to become one with her god, Taminy is called to assume her next task—to become the very voice of her god on Earth.

The Meri, one of the two primary ruling forces in Caraid-land, changes the destiny of her people forever when she chooses to release Tamini, a former vessel of the Meri who was prosecuted as a witch.
