The Temple of Terra: The child is not yet know as the Neta-Teej, but there are early signs of spiritual capacity. Hir inner world becomes the subject of external fixation and precipitates ascendency within the Temple of the Tribe. The demands of this journey distort hir teikum and hir vision of self. Yet the motives of the Tribe are entwined with the politics of the United Terran Coalition and those who sit on the Quadrumvirate.
The Temple of Europa: The Crone has removed herself from the Holy Quadrumvirate and fled the Tribe. Accompanied by the Neta-Teej, escaped from the Temple, they have been offered asylum on Europa.
But the United Terran Coalition will not sit idle. The Jovian moon is home to the unholy creations and violent dissidents of the Falconer. A military mobilization is mounted by the UTC to reclaim their deities and to ascertain the truth of what has been done on Europa.
A legionnaire rides aboard one of the UTC guardships, making her way toward Europa. But their loyalty is torn and their intent to switch sides is hidden.
