Synopsis
Elder Ayn doesn’t really know why the Worldstorm comes to wreak devastation on the world any more than the next man. But being a previsionary, he does know the exact time and nature of his death. He will be murdered and he will do nothing to prevent the killing blow. Elder Ayn also knows why he has left the splendid academic isolation of Stonehaven and gone out into the world. He knows where his quest will take him. But he’s not about to tell his scribe, Khollo. And meanwhile the world’s order is breaking down. In the country of Jarraine, war is brewing between the Earth and the Fire Inclined, between people who can shake the ground with a fist or pull fire out of the air with a simple thought. A storm is coming. And a girl who fears she is Extraordinary is about to learn the truth…
