- Riel comes to Ae'verion to adop David as his protoge and finds that Bethani has made herself his matron. He weans David and overthrows Vashti's uprising in the capitol.
II. Brothers
- How David is established as the Right Hand of the GloryWolf Returned, and is Declared.
- Riel completes David's training ans they sail from Ae'verion to rescue the other two known rithahnder. David learns he is the son of Eva and learns his future. Riel confronts Bethani and repulses her, but admits her eventual future victory.
III. Death
- How War comes, and Riel dies.
- With Riel established in Daethan as General Godswordsman, and fulfillment of the Lion's prophecy that his General-Mentor would be reborn (though, in fact, David is the rebirth), Riel draws a full army to slay Lilith's Get. They take the North with the help of the Sapphire Eye, but Riel is betrayed in the South and falls.
IV. ReBirth
- How David is married, enslaved, liberated, and elevated.
- David is spirited away and nursed back to health by the river people. When he is whole, Eva takes him to the spring where Beckari is bathing. They are married inside the year, but the South is still at war and David is called to it. David is captured and sold to Bethani, who releases him after the requisite seven years. David makes his way to Daethan and is named Riel's successor.
V. Son and Heir
- How David leads the world to victory.
- David now leads the armies of the world against Lilith's Get in the South. He goes from battle in the field to battle in the throne rooms as he tries to build coalitions amidst the contries trying to grab power in the vacuums left by the wars. Some coalitions are hard, like the Ancients, Bethani's Brood, and the Obscured Throne. He banishes Lilith to the moon.
VI. Animmortal
- How David loses Beckari, and is incited to a slaughter
- With Lilith dispelled, Advid is free to retire and disband his army, whether or nor they will. Bethani's daughters misconstrue her longing for David and slay his household, including Beckari. David Slaughters Bethani's Brood in response, including some innocents. Rather than return in shame, he gives himself to Bethani.
VII. Relations
- A Prologue
- Millenia earlier, David is Illen GloryWolf, chief counsel to the Lion, another son of Eve. He meets the young Keralai and tells her the future.
A. Palin's Breath
- David's childhood friend escapes the slaughter to deliver a message to the Daethan Council.
- Palin awakens from a thump on the head to see the slaughter on the battle field, and a throng of the triumphant Get reaping their harvest. Palin finds a bow, fits an arrow, and lets fly. He hears the howl of horror behind him, but he is already on his way, a few steps ahead, to Daethan.
