Mon nom est Yeine et j'ai dix-neuf ans. Je suis membre du peuple darrène, au nord des Cent Mille royaumes. Une barbare. Il y a un mois, ma mère a été assassinée. Elle était l'héritière des Arameris, la plus puissante famille du monde. Ce matin, j'ai reçu un message de l'empereur, mon grand-père : une invitation à venir séjourner à Ciel, le palais familial. Plus qu'une invitation, un ordre.Je veux découvrir pourquoi ma mère est morte. Même si on ne revient jamais de Ciel.
Les dieux et les mortels, le pouvoir et l´amour, la mort et la vengeance... Elle détruira tout. Pendant deux mille ans la puissante famille Arameri a régné sur le monde en réduisant en esclavage les dieux qui avaient créé les hommes. Aujourd´hui les dieux sont libres et le temps des Arameri est compté. La jeune Shahar Arameri a juré de faire confiance à Sieh, le dieu imprévisible dont elle est amoureuse. Pourtant son devoir en tant qu´héritière est de protéger les intérêts de sa famille, y compris si cela signifie manipuler et détruire ceux qui lui sont chers. Une mortelle et un dieu, amoureux et ennemis. Shahar et Sieh pourront-ils s´unir contre le chaos qui menace le royaume des dieux ?
Dans la cité d´Ombre, sous les frondaisons de l´Arbre Monde, les ruelles scintillent de magie et les dieux vivent cachés parmi les mortels. Oree Shoth, une artiste aveugle, recueille sur une impulsion un homme étrange. Mais cet acte de compassion la plonge bientôt au coeur d´une conspiration infernale. Quelqu´un, quelque part, assassine les dieux, abandonnant leurs corps souillés un peu partout dans la cité. Et l´invité d´Oree pourrait bien y être mêlé...
