For centuries, guided by the Destiny's
Oracle, the Bera-Bera tribe have guarded the secret of the windflowers and kept
alive the memory of the banished Cat Goddesses. The High Priest Seraphis covets
Pharaoh's throne and his minions scour the desert sands, seeking two ancient
artefacts of unrivalled power. If the Raia priesthood acquire the Golden Scarab
and the Pyramidion first, then the land
of Keymett will be
plunged into a regime of terror and persecution, condemning the goddesses into
exile forever. The race is on, but how can a small band of pygmies, a tomb
robber, and a magically untrained girl on the run from the Ferrasium’s killing
arena compete against the might of the Priesthood?

A year has passed since Kalli escaped from
the Ferrasium, but the High Priest’s stranglehold on Wasset is tightening and
his tentacles are extending out to encompass all of Keymett. As Pharaoh’s royal
barges sail toward Wasset to celebrate the Jubilee Festival, the High Priest is
poised like an arachnid in his nest, waiting to hatch his plans. Kalli must
unlock the secrets of the Golden Scarab before all of Keymett falls under the
High Priest’s dominion.

Two tales entwine. Sabrina is thrust out of
her sheltered life at Mistress Florisah’s healing school after the destruction
of the witch-ancestor portraits and the appearance of Lauren the Destroyer’s
ghost. An anti-witchcraft regime is poised on Karthalon’s borders threatening
full scale genocide, unless Sabrina, the last of Lauren’s bloodline, can
destroy the Lodestone and restore magic to Valloaria. Hundreds of years before
Lauren had wrought the cataclysmic demise of the Council of Witches by
unleashing the Lodestone and now Sabrina is the only one who can undo Lauren’s
legacy. Sabrina struggles to accept this suicide mission and is distracted by
her inappropriate affection for Micah, a prospect monk. Lauren’s ghost haunts
Sabrina’s dreams and her diary reveals the tragic events behind Lauren’s
actions. With invasion imminent, Sabrina embarks on her quest armed only with a
sliver of the Lodestone and Lauren’s diary.
