The emperor Estarion's long reign has finally helped bring calmness and even reconciliation to the two warring halves of his empire. But no sun lord can rest content in his triumph. Now Estarion and Vanyi, his grasp of mages, contain the leisure to explore the others of their vast world. Vanyi's Mage Guild has generated some gates that can take a traveler halfway around their entire world in only a few steps. Daruya, Estarion's willful granddaughter and heir to the throne, has wheedled permission from him to travel with Vanyi to the far area of the world--to a high mountain kingdom at the end of the chain of gates. Daruya will be Estarion's ambassador while her own daughter and heir remains behind. But on the eve of the departure, the gate in the Kingdom of Heaven is shattered by unimaginable pushes, trapping its keeper and sending a shockwave of electric power down the World Street to the center of Estarion's city. Out of the blue Vanyi's nice embassy becomes a dangerous overland quest to discover who are able to wield such electric power. And even though Daruya is forbidden to visit, she disobeys and hides among Vanyi's guardsmen. It is merely as well that she does, for inside the Kingdom of Heaven, mere magery will meet its match. Vanyi will require the power of sunlight lords and the unexpected alliance Daruya discovers to counter the breaker of gates.
