The epic conclusion to the Last Oracle Series... Clio has forsaken the Deities and turned her back on her powers. Unable to trust her Visions, she is left alone and weak on the outskirts of Sheehan. When the Emperor hears that an Oracle has survived in the Empire, he places a price on her head, forcing Clio to flee to the ancient city of Cearo. But the Deities have other plans for Clio, and it's not long before she is faced with new foes, including a priestess with uncanny powers. With rumors of unrest in the Empire growing and alliances within the nobles shifting, Riece seeks out Clio with a desperate plea. To protect the Empire, Clio will have to return to where her journey began-the sacrificial pyramid of Morek-to fight a new evil in an unimaginable form and confront the greatest enemy she's ever known: her father.
