In fifteen days, on his twentieth birthday, Prince Ronan Aldrea will die at the hands of a god. His path was set long before his birth by hands worlds away from his, unbiased and unyielding in their actions, and had been written into prophecy by seers of ages past. The hands of Fate had called for his death, but Ronan did not plan to sit idly by and let them claim him. The prophecy did not rest on Ronan's shoulders alone; it worked through a member of the Pantheon of Seven, the god Aevar, the one meant to kill him. With Aevar's arrival in the mortal realm comes a fierce reminder that his days are numbered, and with each pawn Fate puts into play, Ronan becomes more determined to defy it. In all of history, be it mortal or godly, Fate has reigned superior. It has never lost, never faltered, least of all fallen before a frightened mortal prince. But Ronan Aldrea intends to change those odds-no matter the cost.

The House of the Heron has long stood on the hills of Old Providence, a structure of unknown origin, a watchtower to a sprawling land, a grave to gods of old and monsters of myth. In the land of Meiying, fable and gods once meant life: but now there is plague in the air, famine in streets, and the spirit of the people is dying. Poisoned by the venom of the Yan dynasty and a prohibition of storytelling, the fledgling Emperor of Yan, Huang Lei makes his ascent to the throne - his corrupt eyes set on the House of the Heron, and the ailing Empress who guards it. Intending to quash the last hallmark of fable from Meiying and absorb Old Providence into the new Meiying, the Emperor begins his march towards the House: but the House will not give in that easily to the rapacity of men - and the choices made by a guard, an Emperor and a scroll-smuggling scribe could cost Meiying it all.
