Raul Endymion, Aenea, and M. Bettik are still on the run from agents of
both the Pax and the TechnoCore. But Aenea is reaching maturity,
clearly growing into the messiah who will one day bring down the church
and stop "the resurrection." One answer lies in Aenea's blood, which
she shares with her followers through a ritual of communion; the blood
allows anyone to travel through the Void Which Binds, but it cannot
coexist with the cruciform that brings immortality. And although
Aenea's gift makes her both a power and a danger, she is also a young
woman, vulnerable to the forces allied against her.
