La Protettrice è morta. Per cinquant'anni ha governato il Tensorato conformandolo a propria immagine, relegando i nemici negli angoli più remoti. Per mezzo secolo il mondo è ruotato attorno a lei, occupata a costruire le sue armate, addestrare i Tensori, afferrare le redini del destino. Ma ora che è morta i suoi seguaci tremano, e gli avversari esultano. Solo in una lontana taverna, nel territorio ribelle, la sua più accesa rivale non gioisce: Lady Han ha fatto di tutto per deporre la Protettrice, ma ora può solo piangerne la perdita.

Qualcosa di terribile è successo all’Istituto di Metodi Sperimentali Rewar Teng. Quando sono arrivati, gli investigatori del Tensorato si sono trovati davanti a una distesa di sangue e ossa a perdita d’occhio. Uno degli esperimenti dell’Istituto è sparito, e non ha lasciato superstiti. Gli investigatori tornano alla capitale senza molti indizi, ma con due prigionieri: il capo dei terroristi Sanao Akeha e unə suə compagnə conosciutə come Rider.

Profetessa ormai decaduta, dominatrice degli Elementi, e figlia della Protettrice, Sanao Mokoya ha deciso di cambiare vita. Un tempo le sue visioni davano forma alle vite dei suoi concittadini in tutto il paese, ma, anche se prevedeva immani tragedie, Mokoya non aveva modo di ridisegnare il futuro. Devastata dalla perdita della figlia, inizia una caccia contro i letali naga, capaci di oscurare il cielo, nelle lande più remote del regno, lontana da tutto ciò che amava, accompagnata da un branco di raptor.

Mokoya e Akeha, le gemelle figlie della Protettrice Sanao, sono state affidate al Grande Monastero da bambine per adempiere a una promessa. Mokoya ha sviluppato un talento profetico, Akeha ha sempre avuto il dono di comprendere quali motivazioni si celano dietro le azioni degli adulti. Mokoya ha illuminazioni su ciò che sarà, Akeha comprende cosa potrebbe essere. Entrambe hanno visto il marcio che si annida nel cuore del Protettorato.
