As climate changes force the people of Skara Brae to abandon their ancient home, they follow the wisdom of their mysterious teacher to the black lands of Kemet. There, among towering temples and eternal pyramids, they discover that their stone circle knowledge resonates with secrets preserved since the fall of Aztlan.

Alander, gifted with both northern healing arts and the ability to read stone songs, must help bridge two traditions. His wife Merit, granddaughter of a Kemetan priest, dances between worlds as they work to preserve crystal wisdom that could transform both their peoples. But some see their presence as a threat to traditions maintained since the first kings unified the Two Lands.

As devastating drought grips Kemet, they must prove that wisdom flows strongest when streams join together. Working with the divine ruler Unas and his chosen successor Teti, they race to prepare their adopted land for seven years of hardship while ensuring ancient knowledge survives for future generations.

A tale of wisdom preserved through ages, of traditions merged but not lost, of patterns that dance through stone and stars...continuing the story begun in Songs of the Stones.
