Summary
"I expected you," says the Warrior-Poet. His voice is a faintly-layered thing, like he's speaking over top himself, and a light golden glow pulses out from him like the rhythm of some otherworldly - no, too-worldly - heartbeat. If Sirisare half-closes his eyes, leans into the beat, it echoes in the same cadence as that distant dream of an unreachable body, and his own heart settles into sync with it. "We have business, you and I."

Summary
"I've been waiting for you, mortal. I need a champion, and you are going to prove yourself worthy! Or die. Really would be a shame if you died, but these things happen. So don't die, or I will be very disappointed. Well, what are you waiting for? Come in! It's lovely in the Isles right now - perfect time for a visit. I'll be waiting for you."
There is a strange door in the Niben Bay. Driven by strange dreams and an obsessive certainty that whatever lies behind the door will have the power to undo her lover's death, Sorona Vausier - Hero of Kvatch, Champion of Cyrodiil, and quasi-widowed mother to the infant last Septim - sneaks away from the Imperial City and, against all common sense, crosses the threshold of Madness, which the Amulet of Kings warned her against long ago. But the Shivering Isles are suffering a crisis of their own, one that even a Hero would be hard-pressed to solve.
But a god? Well, that's a different story altogether. All Sorona has to do is give up that pesky thing called mortality, and possibly forget the very grief that led her into the Isles to begin with.
Surely the Madgod's mantle - and power - are worth what she has to do to keep them...

Summary
“May the gods grant you strength,” says Emperor Uriel Septim VII, nothing but relief on his face, and lets the mace crush his head.
-
Sorona Vausier is a young Breton battlemage of the Imperial Legion, imprisoned under false charges. When Emperor Uriel Septim bids her to seek out his bastard son Martin, for the salvation of all Tamriel, she has no idea just how much that act will change her life. But the threads of Fate have bound her life to the last Septim heir, and loyalty unto death is an oath she swears easily....if only it was her life the gods bid her sacrifice.
