Today is the fateful day. The assassin's target travels along ler high road towards an epiphany, Salus in tow — each acting out their place in the dance that is set. The rest is up to chance.
Salus and Kelta come together the morning after the revelation. Due to the political environment, it's possible that Karatau Meiyenesi and the Kohjenya cannot work fast enough — but no one can afford to fail.
Salus returns to Deo, the librarian, in search of answers to burning questions about Aneti, the Kuresa family, and all of the other cracks in Salus' understanding.
