Description
The Caves of the Goddess were hidden high in the forbidden mountains. And many years had passed since anyone had come to worship there. But when Sari's own aged body is touched by the Goddess, endowing her with youth and beauty, she knows that she must somehow carry out the command of the Goddess to bring her people to the Caves once again.
But others, too, seek to find a way into the mountains. To the diplomats from the Righteous States of America, it is the one pathway which could give them a decisive advantage over Napoleon's troops. To the High Priest, it conceals the secret of survival for the people of the drough-plagued Three Kingdoms, a secret about which no one, not Sari, not the diplomats, not even Prince Aeid himself must ever learn the truth.
