"Descendants and survivors, here told is what happened to me, and how it came to pass that I released the plague ..."

But deciphering the manuscript may wrench her towards a cataclysmic fate, one set into motion over a thousand years ago and linked to an ancient war. What does Fewmany really want from Secret? And what is the true meaning of the bizarre symbol she has dreamed of since childhood? Secret must at last confront the lingering questions haunting her and depart on a quest to find the truth about herself, her dead mother, and her fate--to unleash a Plague of Silences meant to destroy and transform the world as we all have known it. This powerful conclusion to the Keeper of Tales trilogy is a spellbinding masterwork of love and adventure, myth and legend, fate and freewill, and the choices that leave their mark on us
