The Unrelenting Earth

Two months have passed since Ahilya and Iravan learned the
devastating truths behind the earthrages. As the cosmic creatures
struggle to break into the world, and Nakshar's architecture
disintegrates, the desperate council summons their sister ashrams
to a Conclave, to discuss the future of life in the skies.
Ahilya, now a councillor, is determined to share the truth about the
cosmic beings and the nature of Ecstatic trajection so she can
liberate ordinary citizens and save the condemned architects. Her
conviction has alienated her allies and created dangerous enemies.
Only Iravan has a chance of persuading the Conclave that Ecstatics
are not unstable, but he returns from the jungle struggling with his
own Ecstasy. He has little control over his second-self, the primal
falcon yaksha, and finds the Conclave hostile to his cause.
