   Summary

   There were too many, with the same debilitating affliction. In varying degrees of severity, from unresponsive hands, to full body paralysis. The latter of which begged to be put out of their misery. The water was the source of our suffering, poisoning all life around it. Soon, the gnawing hunger and thirst dulls the senses of many. Fury, fear and despair surfaces from the minds of once honorable beings. Now driven mad, cornered and forced to act.

   What would you do in the face of extinction?

   Summary

   " 'Many who had fallen comatose with the infection are waking up, seeming healthy and whole.'

   The king dismissed the courier, and began the process of ordering further studies."

   Some unknown force has resulted in the disappearance of the Radiance, just before the infection could reach its peak under the Pale King's rule. The mystery soon takes a back-burner to a rearranged custody agreement over Herrah's brood, some clumsy attempts to re-establish marital trust, and some long overdue re-evaluations of the Pure Vessel. The king will send his newly unusable creation to train under the Great Knights, and become their sixth.

   Court intrigue, sibling bonding, goddess hunting, different brands of motherhood, and accidental arson are abound.
