A wayward and disabled prince from his clan is fated to help his clan survive the end of the age of towers
Sickly fifteen year old Prince Psal, the son of the nature-blessed warrior-king Nahas, should have been named Crown Prince of all Wheel Clan lands. A priest-physician like his friend Ephan, Psal lacks a warrior's heart, yet he desires to earn Nahas's respect and become a clan chief. If he cannot do this, he must escape his clan altogether. But his love for Cassia, the daughter of his father's enemy, and his own weaknesses work against him. When war comes, Psal defends Ktwala and her daughter Mahari, wronged by Nahas, and speaks out against the atrocities his clan commits, further jeopardizing his future. And now the mysterious towers that keep humans safe from the Creator's ancient curse are rebelling. A prophecy exists-not that Psal believes such matters-of three great ones who will find the Constant Tower and break the power of the third moon. Could Psal, Ephan, and Mahari be those great ones? Psal must risk losing his father's respect to find his destiny, and with his friends face the dangers of the unmaking night to find the Constant Tower and save all of humanity.
Excerpt
The Beautiful One from my clan, is dead.
The day takes us.
If to forest, no rain.
If to desert, no sun.
For he was rain and sun,
A cloud bringing all my comfort.
In our Permanent Home, the gathered clans greet him.
‘His words were daggers, brave and swift,’ they sing.
‘His heart was kind and noble.
In the world of the living, distress.
But for us, joy.
The day turns,
His longhouse searches for him. But he is safe here in our home.
