About this ebook

Young Rudi Mackenzie has grown up knowing that he will one day assume leadership over the Western Oregon survivors of the technological disaster called the Change. But a prophecy made at his birth spoke of an even greater destiny—a destiny that is about to be fulfilled.
           
A mysterious traveler has arrived in the Willamette Valley. He brings news from the East, from Nantucket Island, long rumored to be the source of the Change. He has been sent on a mission to bring back with him the Sword of the Lady from the sunset oceans.
           
As son of the High Priestess, Rudi is the Sword of the Lady. Now, guided by the traveler, he sets out on a quest across the Changed land that was once America. But between Rudi and his destiny lies the Valley of Paradise…and the cult of a madman determined to stop him.

Ratings and reviews

My Sister gave me this book, and it sat on the shelf for a good six months. I was done with my last Diana Gabbledon book and noticed it siting there with dust on the cover. I opened it and that started my education in what to prepair for it the world as we know it end's in 2012. I found all the books pertaining to the Change, all of them are engrossing, but Dies the Fire was the most educational, and I believe that some kind of change is imminent, and these book's fire my brain like nothing else. Thank you SM Sterling for these books. .

This series keeps me enthralled even after the 5th reading

This series just keeps getting better
