A great quest in classic Orson Scott Card style.
It is an alien sphere, but one controlled by Man for millenia. A legend as old as the stars rules this world: when the seventh seventh human Heptarch is crowned, he will be the Kristos and will bring eternal salvation...or the destruction of the cosmos.
Patience is the only daughter of the rightful Heptarch, but she, like her father before her, serves the usurper who has destroyed her family. For she has learned the true ruler's honor, that duty to one's race is more important than duty to one's self.
