Mirany is the youngest of the Nine, the Archon, the living God of this Ancient Egyptian- like land. The Archon then dies to bring rain, and a new Archon must be found. The Speaker, the leader of the Nine, is corrupt, and plots to place a false Archon. Together, Mirany and the old Archon's musician, Obler, must place the true Archon on his rightful throne.

Mirany, a young women, is elected to be the bearer of the Gods. She has to tell the Speaker (who tells the people what the God wants) if the God is in the people's presence. Mirany lives with the nine, who are some of the most respected people in her country. There are people in the nine like the taster-of-the-Gods who do important things for the Gods and the people. When Archon, the ruler of the land, dies he gives Mirany a note saying that the Oracle is betrayed, the Speaker can not hear the Gods, and the Speaker is making ideas up in her head and in the people's favor.
