A female mage who appears once in a century — Elaine Aldia.
The highest-ranking military officer of the nation — Lance Valen.
People call her “the Goddess,”
and hail him as “the Hero.”
Yet the two of them know:
each time they are named,
their outlines recede, just a little.
This is a story of order and prayer.
And — a record of learning not to fear touch.
