Covenant (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780956987730)

Isca was born into the faith, following its calling away from the Settlements and into the City States. Now, as a priestess, her path finally becomes clear. She receives a stone tablet that can reputedly liberate her people and reveal their spiritual homeland. But the ways of the Gods are strange. To serve the faith she must teach the path of True Will to a heathen and bear the consequences.

When a stranger appears in the city of Tarsis, he discovers the truth about the tablet and the heathen chosen to protect it. Surely only the long-awaited Righteous One could accomplish that? But what if the stranger isn't so righteous after all?
