Summary
The book starts with a flashback to a hundred years earlier in a village to the east of Donville. It is here that a prophecy is given by Reverend Kinson telling of the future fulfillment of an earlier prophecy given 400 years earlier, and the signs that will indicate that they are closing on the end of the race and their eventual freedom. The story then returns to modern day Donville and the shop of Arthur Holland, a master woodcrafter and artisan as he works on a special project made out of Mahoy wood for the city's mayor. He's soon joined by his best friend and business partner Dexter Dramond, after which the two men talk about the project and the general lack of business they've been suffering lately, some of which is being caused by a bad economy, and some by the unusual calmness of The Reaping Sea over the past months. Deciding to seek out answers, Arthur heads down to the dockyards and meets Captain Ebenezer on his way. Arthur is surprised, yet happy to see him alive, given the rumors of his death on The Reaping Sea. Arthur then goes down and speaks with the dock master and asks if they've been withholding work from him, or giving it to another ship. The dock master informs him that they haven't. There just hasn't been anything to give him. The two part company with a friendly goodbye.
Elsewhere Chester Westman meets with Adam and Martha and is brought up to speed on recent events in the area, including the fall of Ruby. Sheobaal, and his master Azazel meanwhile look in on Simon's team, still bent on destroying them, but find that they're too well protected by a LARGE angel army, so they satisfy themselves with just watching them for now. As they do, Aria and Trevor spend a little time together on one of the many observation ledges on the side of Kestrel Weyr and talk about each other, but mostly about Trevor's past, some of what he owns, and some of what he has done, not all of which the young man is interested in talking about, and much of which he regrets.
