London is picking up the pieces after a near-Apocalypse—a
comet has just missed the Earth, leaving the city in
chaos.The streets have taken on a frenzied air, and
swindlers and circus performers have come to town to take
advantage of the confusion. In this time of uncertainty, only the blind boy
oracle,Tersias, can see what the future holds. But
awareness of his power is growing, and he is captured by
Solomon, a false prophet whose purple-robed minions swarm
London, looking for disciples. Tersias is just what Solomon
needs, and with Tersias under his control, Solomon believes
he’s finally in a position to complete his master plan. Tersias is not without friends—an unlikely alliance of
teenage highwaymen and a charlatan magician swear to break
down Solomon’s Citadel and rescue Tersias from his
clutches. They wonder if Tersias’s power can save them all—
but they haven’t realized the source of his second sight,
and they aren’t aware of a much darker force that torments
his soul . . .
