Publisher's Synopsis
Arion and Jamie are the first humans in over two thousand years to set foot on Bahrein. They quickly discover that the horrid "purification" movement, led by the House of Kol, still rules the Bahreinian people with an iron fist. However, the opposition's leader, Lord Reeba of Mar, who hopes to win the upcoming elections against the House of Kol, welcomes the delegation from New Earth as his guests. While renegades around the first Bahrein who sees the Dome of Souls abduct Arion, Jamie befriends a mysterious, artificially produced Bahrein whose powers of mental energy and empathy are off the scale. Before they know it, the two humans are deep inside Bahreinian high politics, and come to realize they could play a part in Lord Reeba toppling the almighty House of Kol.
