The saga of Idris the prince continues as Alisha, the heroine of Book One of the Blood Warrior Saga studies the events of the place in 11th century Central America (known in the histories as "The Isthmus") that shaped her own family. She reads of Idris, one of many African explorers who journeyed to the new world. More than a story of empires, it is a story of men and women who mingle the blood of nations and help to fulfill the ancient promises that are a part of their shared destinies. Alisha must learn the story of Idris' life among the Olmec and the story of the two 11th century wives of Idris, Jenne and Chitical. Theirs is a story of conflict, birth, death, and magic in the birthplace of Darien, the Blood Warrior. Descended from Jenne and Chitical are the fiery present day warriors of the tribe who serve Idris, with loyalty or with discord through the intervening centuries. Will they be obedient to the ancient promises and to the Mage? The saga continues.
