Publisher's Synopsis
Once again Henri departs, this time north with Rishii and Valera to prepare for his Utani transformation trial. This journey challenges him in ways he yet again never anticipated, while providing him knowledge, powers, and obligations he can only hope will come together to aid his friends and deepen his understanding of himself and his world...and that he will survive to see the changes happening in the Seven Cities region and his own role within it evolve in ways that he can accept.
