Great magic comes with great gifts - and great burdens. Kidwell and Anna must face together the ramifications of being thrust into world-changing roles. Such responsibility exacts a price in their own lives and the many lifetimes they've shared before. The magic Kidwell and her co-prophet, Aisha, stumbled into in the first book in this series, Kiva and the Mosque, continues to push them all into situations they never could have imagined. As their life-partners, Kidwell's Anna and Aisha's Greg, must find their own strength and fight their own battles. Not even great magic can prevent or cure a broken heart, but, sometimes, a broken heart is the only key to even deeper magic. Through great pain, Kidwell faces a transformation that has a profound effect not only on their lives but many lives across many worlds.

The culmination of a tale spanning lifetimes thrusts the current lives of Kidwell, Anna, Maolan, Martin, Aisha, and Greg into an adventure that crosses not only millennia but also magical boundaries between worlds. A handful of humans joins with others--most viewed as only magical fantasy in the human world--to lead the fight to overcome great evil and to end a battle begun before any remembered human history. This group of mismatched and diverse heroes faces the unimaginable as a family. It is the love, caring, forgiveness, and courage they share that provide hope not just for themselves but for the world around them. The magic Kidwell and her co-prophet, Aisha, stumbled into in the first books in this series, The Kiva and the Mosque and The Pyramid and the Painting, continues to dominate all their lives. They face together not only great evil but their own doubts and weaknesses. With luck and determination, they may save not only the world but themselves as well.
