Miralees Fornata's life has been simple enough until she stumbles on her family secrets. Trying to be a good daughter means she doesn't refuse when they ask her to do something that puts her life--and theirs at risk.

Miralees escapes with the woman she has rescued and sets out on the journey to take her where she belongs.

Miralees has finally succeeded in bringing the Screaming Goddess to Avakending as she was told, and braced herself to lose the one person she truly loves.
