As restitution for the apocalypse, the pantheon promised babies born faster, stronger, and more powerful than the survivors they'd be sworn to protect. These children would later institutionalize under the name of Palisade, grow to call themselves Partisans, and conscript each new generation in service to the six territories of Auditoria.Or so the story goes.Eight-hundred-some years later...Enforcer Rhian Sinclair is bored. After months of impatiently waiting, she decides it's time the Assembly reverse their punishment for the arson, murder, and heresy she may or may not have committed. Grumpy and still grounded, Rhian plots her way off the isle of Palisade and back to work-even if she's sure the next job will be her last.Assigned to an isolated village, Andrei Strauss is resigned. He never wanted to be a priest, and so each night he stands before a dying population and lies. But when something other than disease starts taking the people of Oskari, Andrei reaches out to Palisade for help in solving a series of indiscriminate kidnappings. In the first installment of the series, old friends are reunited, ancient secrets are revealed, and an assassin and a telepath walk into a bar at some point separately.From legend to life, truth to lie, fiction to fact.
