An English translation of Pierre Loti's romantic, semi-autobiographical travelogue first published anonymously in 1879. Loti (a pen-name of Louis Marie-Julien Viaud) was an officer in the French navy who had been stationed in Thessaloniki and Istanbul a few years before his account was published.

C'est lors d'une mission à Istanbul, alors qu'il est jeune officier de marine, que Pierre Loti tombe sous le charme d'Aziyadé, une jeune femme enfermée dans un harem. Pierre Loti fait pénétrer le lecteur dans l'intimité de sa liaison orientale avec la belle Aziyadé, l'odalisque de Stamboul.

As a woman of science, I am an unabashed, agnostic atheist—until I meet my first angel. Aziel, with big, beautiful wings, claims he's here to stop humanity from being annihilated. Sounds impressive, but I have questions. Full of arrogance and demands, he wants access to my life's work while blaming me for the coming apocalypse. It seems my innocuous signal seeking life beyond our galaxy succeeded. Someone heard my invitation, and now the world is in grave danger. At least according to Aziel.

In the Age of Discovery, the mighty Rovart Dominion rules the world with an iron fist. Through brutal force and indoctrination, their empire has spread from the sprawling mountains and hills of Rovan in the east, across the Solemn Sea, to the mighty Afall Mountains in the west. On the edge of the empire, the young orphan Baric is raised by the village cook. Prophecy, peril, and fate align, casting Baric into a magical journey and adventure. The battle for freedom is sparked with a single flame, which rages into a fiery maelstrom as a people rise to fight for deliverance from tyranny.
