When the elven bard Svarnil hears of the discovery of an ancient religious document that may change the course of history, she travels all the way to the southern border of Yuwara Ul Sahd to learn the truth about the Minarian religion - and to join the librarian Nulif in his dangerous quest to share that truth with others. Svarnil and Nulif must contend with elemental monsters and charges of criminal blasphemy as they try to help the city of K'Ten accept a forgotten interpretation of the scriptures and hold fast to the true meaning of their faith. But when truth and faith and private motives are all at work, who can tell what course is right?
