‘Close your eye, Ela of Parne. Close your eye and you will discover.’ Ela Roeh of Parne doesn’t understand why her much loved Originator, the Infinite, wants her to become His prophet. She’s undignified, bad tempered, in support of seventeen—not to mention that no prophet of Parne has ever been a woman. Worst of all, as the elders often alert, if she agrees to be the Infinite’s prophet, Ela knows she will die young. ‘Istgard provides turned their back again on Me. Start to see the evil they actually.’ Yet after experiencing His existence, she can’t imagine living without Him. Determined to check out the Infinite’s voice, Ela allows the sacred vinewood branch and is sent to bring the Infinite’s term to a nation torn apart by war. Here she meets Kien, a Traceland ambassador identified to bring his own justice for his oppressed people. Because they form an unlikely relationship, Ela must surrender to her future… and regulate how to balance the primary of her heart with the leading of the Infinite. ‘Will you accept the branch and speak My will? Are you considering My prophet?’
