With Orcus and his army outside of the city of Tallus and an angry mob out for her blood on the inside, Sela finds herself between a rock and a hard place with only one way out...unfortunately it means her being used as a human sacrifice. Her only ally is the High Priestess of the city but she has some major problems of her own to deal with...problems that give her a special connection to Sela. A connection that can save them both or lead to their ultimate doom.
