In this intricate and poetic sequel to the best-selling Moonfall, award-winning author Heather Spears continues the tale of Tasman and her children in a post-holocaust world inhabited by bicephalic humans – twins sharing the same body – and in utterly tragic circumstances, the human spirit triumphs. With the birth of a new religion, which makes its saviours into victims, the children of Tasman must complete the prophecy of Moonfall. This is the story of Tasman's son Betwar and the children of his brother, Atwar.

The trilogy concludes with The Taming.
