Synopsis "The Fate of Miraanni: Tales of Aurduin (in English)"
No one has seen the enigmatic Orobai in a year. In his absence, Miraanni, the "Mysterious Child," has fallen ill, lost in a catatonic state, but not before inspiring a fervent religious movement in Laftandiar-Urya, where she has been named "The Mother of the Perfect Creation" by the populace in the revived religion of the Tal. Ashi has excelled in her lessons as a student at Hyanchalth-Murira, but when a mysterious woman gives her an ancient relic, it is only the beginning of her pilgrimage to find her place in Aurduin. Unable to help Miraanni any longer, Ashi must flee with blood on her hands, her fate calling her into the unknown while the Tal proclaims her the Kyandara and Holy Warrior of the religion that grows in Miraanni's, and Ashi's, name. Now it's up to Nataali to find a cure for Miraanni before it's too late and she is lost forever. Her best option is the Serpent King, but that is a choice with its own consequences. Meanwhile, the Motu leader, Kalzhat, makes an unprecedented overture to the peoples of the interior of Aurduin to mount a resistance to the growing threat from the west, promising a secret weapon to thwart their oppressive technology, and the blind Djinari Holy Man, Kulan, makes a desperate bid to find the missing Orobai, lead on by a dream of the Great Eagles, the Arnyar. In this installment of Tales of Aurduin, Volume II, the pace quickens as the stakes are raised, tensions mount, and new possibilities arise. The choices that are made here will influence all that is to come. The fate of Miraanni could be the fate of Aurduin itself in this dynamic continuation of the story that began with Orobai's Vision.
