Through the light, through the chaos, through the raging winds comes a man-tall and bare-chested, bow slung over one muscled shoulder. The way he stands is so striking. Is it confidence? His shoulders are squared, his back straight. All the while this scene around us thunders: the nearness of the Cosmic Fault, the villains with guns... I think the average person would cower, but not this man. This man looks as if he were born to traverse such madness...and born to conquer it. Pulled through a Cosmic Fault, Robin Beasley finds herself in a new land. Can she conform to the ways of the Sagittarri and commit to a loveless marriage, thus securing her future-or will she prove too stubborn to ignore the insistence of her heart?
