Rudi Mackenzie has won the battle that expelled the enemy from the new
High Kingdom of Montival. Now he must free the people who live in the
state once known as Idaho from occupation by the legions of the Church
Universal and Triumphant and pursue them to their lair over the
mountains. There he will finally confront the forces behind the
Church--the Powers of the Void.
Yet even a victory will not end the conflict forever. The Powers of the
Void are malevolent and infinitely patient, and the struggle is one that
involves the entire world. They threaten not only Rudi in the present,
but also the future represented by his children, Órlaith and John. Rudi
knows this.
And as his heir Princess Órlaith grows up in the shadow of her famous
father, she also realizes that the enemy will do anything to see that
she does not live to fulfill her parents' dream....
