Publisher's Synopsis
Over a century after Darkness was defeated and the Day of Our Sun Havo began, unexplained infertility has reduced Terra's population by billions. As Church scientists labor to find the cause and a cure, each year the Church of Havo sacrifices ten people to show Humanity's devotion to Havo and earn a reprieve, a reprieve which has yet to come. 137 years After the Day, Provincia Americae Cascadiae selects Clovia Nervina, a devout young woman of twenty-three, as one of its latest Offerings. She feels blessed to meet her maker, but Church leaders may regret their choice forever.
