Aurelia of Rasil'yon, a young elfin sorceress, is poised to discover herself and her world. She embarks upon an epic journey that will take her to many countries, through many bodies and forms, and to dealings with many gods and goddesses, of foreign peoples for whom she once had naught but enmity. This odyssey shall not end until she herself ends--coming to the precipice of goddesshood, and to the end of her mortality. She must confront her elfin racism, the haughty curse of her people, and make common cause with orcs and dwarves and gnomes and humans of various nations. Only then is she able to catch a glimpse of the Codex--that tome of truth, inscrutable, that her Uncle Aurel died attempting to recover. Along the way, she meets and touches many beautiful souls, fights many more evil ones, and begins to learn the measure of her destiny. Will she learn the beauty of revolt and liberation, and win her fight against tyranny? Or will she succumb to the force of Madness in the cosmos, and become a God?
