[[Siri]], the youngest princess of [[Idris]], considers her rather unimportant position in the Idrian royal family. She walks in from the countryside to [[Bevalis]], the Idrian capital. She is trailed by children, who are fascinated by the flower she carries because it is a breach of the normal drabness maintained by Idrian followers of [[Austre]]. Siri talks to her friend, [[Mab]] the cook, about how she is tired of the Idrian traditions of austerity.

In Idris, Vivenna begs her father to reconsider his decision and send her as he originally planned. She feels suddenly bereft of purpose, now that her sister is marrying the God King in her stead. Her father argues that he has done what is best for Idris, because in the event of war, the Hallandren could have used Vivenna as a more effective bargaining chip than Siri.

Siri becomes enraged at her father's decision, shouting at her honor guard. She wishes Vivenna were in her stead, because she is sure her relative political experience would make her a better representative of Idris in Hallandren. She decides that she will send her honor guard back to Idris, as they would be adrift in Hallandren.

Vivenna and the middle princess, Fafen, discuss their father's decision to send Siri while picking blackberries. Vivenna begins to get an idea to help Siri.

[[Lightsong]], one of the [[Returned]] in the Court of Gods in Hallandren, considers the fact that he cannot remember his life and heroic death before being Returned and rolls out of bed. He is surrounded by servants, who as always attend to his every need. He recounts his dream of a boat on a red ocean to his priests, who records it as prophecy. Lightsong teases his high priest, [[Llarimar]], calling him “Scoot” and asking for the details of his past life that he is forbidden. He receives a Breath from a child, which will allow him to live another week. Then he judges the poetic and artistic offerings to him, when he is informed of the arrival of the God King's new wife.

Vasher stands atop the wall surrounding the Court of Gods and realizes that the fact that the Idrians actually sent Siri complicates his plans. He meets clandestinely with a priest, [[Bebid]], from the Court of Gods in a restaurant. Bebid informs Vasher of a faction among the Court pushing Hallandren to war with Idris. Vasher leaves and retrieves Nightblood from a dead cutpurse who stole it.

Lightsong watches the new Queen arrive from his patio. He discusses her possible effects on Court politics with Llarimar, and insists that he have more wine, although as a god he is immune to drunkenness.

Remembering Bluefingers' instructions and warnings, Siri removes her dress and underthings and bows naked before the God King's bed. She waits for him to call for her, not daring to make a noise and wondering if he judges her inadequate or not beautiful enough.

Lightsong watches the celebration of the God King's union, bored with the luxuries and the fireworks. [[Blushweaver]], another goddess, comes to greet him. They talk and flirt, but Lightsong rebuffs her advances. They discuss politics, with Blushweaver in favor of the war and curious as to Lightsong's opinion of the new queen.

Siri bathes in the relief of having survived the night untouched and unexecuted. She climbs into the unoccupied bed and goes to sleep.

The two mercenaries burst out laughing, and tell Vivenna they are joking. They inform Vivenna that Lemex is ill with fevers, and give her a letter written in his hand. The mercenaries eat Vivenna's seafood and lead her to Lemex's house.

Siri begs Treledees to let her leave the palace after the days she has spent trapped inside. He is deeply offended, because her period of isolation is the least she can do to honor the God King. She orders dinner, is scrubbed and primped, and once again brought to the bedchamber of the God King. At the door, Bluefingers gives her a cryptic warning to be careful, but when Siri presses him for more information, he does not tell her anything.

Kneeling naked on the floor, Siri contemplates her options and becomes completely frustrated. Finally, she shouts at the God King to just “get on with it!” Immediately embarrassed and fearful of punishment, she ducks back into a kneel but soon lifts her head to look the God King in the eye. At the usual time of his departure, he gets up and leaves. She crawls into bed, relieved and unpunished.

Siri looks out the window of the God King's bedroom over the sea. She does not know why she is still unpunished for being rude to the God King, but recognizes that she needs to stop being afraid and start directing her life again.

The light rain falling on the proceedings in the Court of Gods causes Lightsong to banter with Llarimar and Blushweaver about the limits of Returned godly powers. He claims he wants it to be sunny, so the weather should reflect that. Llarimar says that the rain is for the best, and Blushweaver insists she wants a tempest, so the light rain is merely a compromise of their wills. Blushweaver and he continue to talk politics, with Blushweaver seeking Lightsong's support, but they pause for the presentation of the new queen.

Siri is carried in a sedan chair to her place in the Court of Gods. She basks briefly in the rain, feeling how good it is to be outside again. She settles into her seat, and watches the colorfully dressed Hallandren people watching and the different gods arrive.

Blushweaver kneels at the entrance of the God King, and tells Lightsong to not hurt their cause by refusing to kneel. Lightsong feels that he owes no allegiance to the God King, and idly wonders how he would be punished if he didn't kneel. He does kneel, however, fearing for the safety of his serving people.

Vivenna sits in the crowd, debating whether the Breath she holds is beautiful because of the pitch and life sense it grants her, or a corruption. She decides it is even more of a corruption than she thought because of its beauty. She sees an unkempt man with a large BioChromatic aura watching her. She notices that the sword he carries also seems to have an aura. She panics, and turns to leave, but Parlin stops her, telling her that she might want to stay because the gods' priests are debating going to war with Idris.

Vivenna returns to Lemex’s house, which the mercenaries have ransacked thoroughly. Denth and Tonk Fah show her Lemex’s secret stash of five thousand gold marks and his personal papers, many of which are communications with King Dedelin. Through the letters, Vivenna learns that her father gave Lemex enough money to buy breathBreath to enter the Court, and that Dedelin felt that war with Hallandren was inevitable and that not sending Vivenna was purely a matter of favoritism. Feeling betrayed, but even more determined to rescue Siri seeing that her father thought of her as good as dead, Vivenna resolves to hire the mercenaries, proved trustworthy because they did not run off with Lemex’s fortune when they had the chance. She believes she must continue Lemex’s work in undermining the Hallandrens’ ability to wage war.

Siri again awaits outside the God King’s chamber door. Bluefingers says that he is worried, because creating a child with the God King would be the worst possible thing Siri could do. He hints at different factions in the palace, and that she is in grave danger. Confused, but knowing full well that she is in no danger of becoming pregnant, Siri enters the God King’s chamber. As she drifts off to sleep after her moaning routine to fool the listening priests, Siri is startled by the God King, [[Susebron]], looming over her. She shrieks but apologizes to a startled Susebron. He tentatively shows her a children’s storybook and wants her to read to him. She is confused, but after he opens his mouth, she realizes that his tongue has been cut out so he can’t use any of his Breath and that this makes him a mere figurehead. She begins to use the book to teach him to read.

Siri walks into the palace library to get a history book to enlighten herself on the God King’s succession history. The scribes tell her that she may not take any books out of the room, foiling her plan. Later that night, Siri and the Susebron talk, communicating through writing . Siri teaches him of sarcasm, and he uses it jokingly. Susebron asks of an heir, and Siri realizes he knows nothing of the process of making one. They then discuss whether or not the God King continues living after an heir is produced, because the histories are all unknown to Siri or jumbled, and she is worried about Bluefingers’ cryptic warnings.

Lightsong awakes a full hour earlier than usual, chipper and ready to go and investigate. He refuses to stop and record his dreams, but instead goes to look at the art offerings. One abstract, red painting makes Lightsong see a battle scene with a sea of fighting Lifeless and people with a woman holding up a terrible, dark sword. He tells Llarimar, who is worried by his prophetic vision in the painting. Lightsong tells Llarimar his dream of a storming sea and a red panther. They arrive at Mercystar’s palace, finding her out visiting [[Allmother]]. Through questioning all witnesses separately, Lightsong determines that there were two intruders, one that took care not to kill, and one that swiftly killed the only witness of his passing. Lightsong sees a trapdoor, and guesses that both intruders left through there. He has a priest fetch the Lifeless squirrel used as a distraction during the break-in, and tells his priests to break its Command. His feelings of curiosity about the crime worry him, so he questions Llarimar about his past life, who does not tell him anything.

After fleeing from Denth and his companions Vivenna wanders through the Idrian Slums. She thinks about their betrayal and Parlin's death for which she feels guilty. At one point, a thief forces her to give up her fine dress and leggings. Only wearing her shift and with white hair she rubs herself mud and dirt to not stand out in the slums. She takes a dirty shawl from a pile of cloth on the street to wrap around her. But with her Breath she is visible to everyone with the [[Heightening|First Heightening]]. Thinking about this problem she gives her Breath to the shawl. She is now a [[drab]] and has to care for her shawl containing all of her Breath.

Vivenna earns one bit (coin) from her begging, but not even that is enough to buy a place at a garbage can outside a restaurant. Her mind is fuzzy due to lack of food and illness. She considers prostitution, realizing that her morals are being set aside for her more immediate needs. She finds a decent place to sleep and is ambushed by thugs, led there by the same man who robbed her of her clothes. Denth has put a bounty on her. She is led away, too weak and hungry to even attempt escape. They come upon [[Nightblood]]. One man picks up the sword and proceeds to kill the rest of the thugs, then himself. [[Vasher]] slings her over her shoulder.

[[Lightsong]] repeatedly requests to see [[Allmother]], but he is repeatedly denied entrance. He commands his servants to set up a pavilion outside her palace, threatening to stay there until she will talk to him. He then sends in Vasher's squirrel to make a ruckus. He is finally admitted.

Allmother is hearing petitions. Rather than simply saying no, she makes arrangements to help her petitioners. It appears to Lightsong that Allmother looks older than when he last saw her, which is impossible for Returned that have reached a mature age. She scolds him for acting the fool and undermining the gods' authority with the people. He tells her his [[Lifeless]] commands, but she perceives that he is simply shirking his responsibility as a god, so she gives him her commands.

[[Vivenna]] has been unconscious for a week. She wakes up in a room with [[Vasher]] with clean clothes on, still dizzy and hungry, but not famished. Vasher scolds her for getting fooled by [[Denth]] and asks if she gave all of her [[Breath]] to him. She admits that it's stored in her shawl. She recovers the Breath and feels much better, experiencing a shock of pleasure that incapacitates her for a moment. Vasher makes Vivenna see how she was used by Denth to encourage the priests to start a war against her homeland of Idris.

[[Siri]] and [[Susebron]] eat together in the conception room. She warns him not to eat too many sweets, but he explains that [[Returned]] don't get fat; they always look the same. He tells her that he confronted his priests directly about what would happen to him after he fathered an heir. They answered vaguely that all would be fine. Susebron speculates that the God King is simply a vessel for the treasure of [[Breath]]sBreaths. They come to the conclusion that a still-born Returned infant from somewhere in the kingdom is the actual heir, not a child that they would bear. He then wonders if his [[Susebron's mother|"mother"]] was actually his biological mother, and Siri assures him that the woman who raised him ''is'' his mother. She tells him about her family and they start to snuggle. Susebron leans over to kiss Siri, passion takes over, and Siri leads the way. The marriage is consummated.

[[Lightsong]] dreams of T’Telir burning, the [[Susebron|God King's]] death, and a [[Nightblood|black sword]].

[[Vivenna]] waits for [[Vasher]] in a tiny room. She's exhausted from making so many visits to various Idrians, trying to avert war. Vasher lives a spartan lifestyle. Vivenna contemplates who she is, and she decides that she never wants to be incompetent again. She begins to practice [[Awakening]] with a length of rope. Vasher walks in on her and gives her some tips. He lectures her like a scholar on the different [[BioChromatic Breath|BioChromatic]] entities and Awakening techniques. He refuses to answer her question about Type IV entities, Awakened objects with sentience. He gives her a dueling sword and they go out for yet another visit.

[[Lightsong]] contemplates his role as a god and his struggles to live up to it. He presses [[Llarimar]] on the identity of the young woman from his dreams. He reveals only that she was not his wife or lover and that she is still alive. This motivates Lightsong to action.

Lightsong goes to the [[Lifeless]] Enclave. He observes the track and other facilities to keep the Lifeless in good physical condition. They stand in their ranks in the dark, not moving at all. Lightsong orders all the priests out so he can give his and [[Allmother]]'s Lifeless a new command. He has decided to not confide the command to any of his priests so that it can't be bribed or tortured out of them.

[[Siri]] and [[Susebron]] lie in bed in the morning. She ponders their relationship and fears the consequences of their actions (i.e. having sex and possibly producing a child). They express their love to each other. Susebron wants to assert his authority as the God King and take control of the government. They discuss enlisting the help of [[Lightsong]] since he cannot speak. They discuss the alternate plan of fleeing, but Susebron believes that this will only be abandoning Irdris to invasion. If they were to flee, Siri worries that he will die without his weekly [[Breath|Breaths]], but he explains that he can feed off of the treasure one Breath per week. They decide to implement his plan.

[[Vasher]] watches [[Vivenna]] practice [[Awakening]] through a window as he hangs from an Awakened rope. He marvels and how quickly she is learning and laments that she came to Hallandren, providing [[Denth]] with a very effective tool. He also thinks that Denth didn't really need her anyway, and that he shouldn't have stayed away for so long, but he couldn't come sooner. [[Nightblood]] likes Vivenna.

Vasher comes in and reports that Denth's safe houses are abandoned. He suggests meeting with some more working-class Idrians, and Vivenna expresses her doubts that their efforts are doing any good compared to Denth's plots. Both are frustrated and discuss what they can do differently, and Vasher mentions a priest named [[Nanrovah]] that suddenly turned against his anti-war stance. This jogs Vivenna's memory: the priest's coach was involved in one of Denth's operations. Vasher leaves to try to figure out more.

While Vasher is away, Vivenna ponders her judgment of Vasher. He comes back and reveals that the robbery was a cover for the real target: the carriage. He puts on some other clothes and gives them various [[Command|Commands]], preparing for combat. He gives Vivenna a quick lesson in swordplay and invites her to come along. She arms herself with some awakened rope and says that it's better to lose [[Breath]] than to die. Vasher seems to agree with her. They walk to a small house and Vasher disables the guards. He then uses Awakened straw men to find a trap door in the back. They proceed into the basement and find the [[Misel|priest's daughter]] captive in a cage. Vasher is furious and engages the thieves with Nightblood (sheathed) while Vivenna frees the child. Vasher appears larger. His fury is such that he considers unsheathing Nightblood, but Vivenna distracts him by getting him to help get the girl. Oddly, the girl rushes into Vasher's arms; Vivenna couldn't get her to move.

[[Lightsong]] and [[Blushweaver]] chat as they enter the arena. She suggests that they share each other's [[Command]] for his 20,000 lifeless, but he refuses to give her his. He is disgusted with the other Gods for only wanting to be involved in politics but not taking responsibility as leaders of their nation. All of the gods except for the God King finally arrive, and Lightsong is puzzled when he looks for [[Siri]] and sees that she is not there yet.

Siri is walking through the palace, going over in her mind the plan to expose what the priests have done to silence and control the [[Susebron|God King]]. As she approaches the door leading to the court, she sees that it is guarded by priests with [[Lifeless]] soldiers. Rather than resist, she attempts to exert authority over them, but they lead her away, saying that they will announce that she is pregnant and cannot exert herself. The priests seem to regret their actions.

[[Vivenna]] and [[Vasher]] watch the debate. [[Nanrovah]] is back to arguing against war, but there is little support for that position. Vasher notices that neither the God King nor Siri are in attendance, and goes to find out why. He returns with the news that Siri is pregnant, and Vivenna insists that they rescue her from that "thing" who they assume is also in favor of war with [[Idris]]. Vasher promises to try. The priests go back to their respective gods to seek the Will of the Pantheon -- the formal vote to decide whether to go to war.

[[Vivenna]] waits up, waiting for [[Vasher]]'s return. She considers everything that has happened to her and the people she has met.

[[Siri]] wakes to shouting, quickly rising to check the door to see if she could escape. The door opens and [[Treledees]] comes in, telling her to come with him quickly. Siri protests, but she is grabbed by the priest's soldiers.

Vivenna gets up as dawn approaches, having been unable to sleep, realizing something is wrong as Vasher has not returned. She decides she needs to prove her competence to herself, so she grabs some of Vasher's spare clothing, [[Awakening]] various pieces, grabs her sword, and heads out.

[[Lightsong]], [[Blushweaver]], and [[Llarimar]] have each been caged separately. Blushweaver is crying. She reveals she's been working with the God King's priesthood the whole time, that she had been tasked with getting the Command phrases. Lightsong decides to try to break out of his cell, asking Llarimar what is used to pick a lock. At this point Llarimar reveals Lightsong had been a scribe, an accountant for a local moneylender. Llarimar describes him as having always having been a fool, with Llarimar always ending up in trouble with him. The God King's priests ask Lightsong for his Command phrases, which he refuses to give. He gives them up after Blushweaver is killed and Llarimar is threatened.

Lightsong is crying again. He notices that the God King, while pounding on the bars of his cage and moaning, doesn't speak. He has a vision of the Red Panther, remembering the events leading to his death. There had been a storm, and he'd been attempting to lash down some barrels when a wave hit the boat and washed his niece, Tatara, overboard. Still holding rope in his hand, he leaps after her, managing to find her in the water and throw the loop of rope around her ankle, pulling it tight before being pulled down into the depths of the ocean. Snapping out of his vision, Lightsong sees the God King yell in fear and realizes that his tongue has been cut out to prevent him from using the Treasure of Peacegiver. Lightsong realizes that the God King loved Siri. As the God King is about to be executed, he reaches out to Lightsong. Lightsong grasps the God King's hand and sacrifices his divine Breath, and his life, to heal his king.
