Synopsis

Salli belongs to an elite paramilitary force responsible for protecting the religious shrines scattered throughout the mountainous wilderness regions of a troubled world. As a devout member of an orthodox faith, she believes life is a dream, and that true believers will one day be awakened by the coming Messiah. There is another faith, however, that preaches heresy -- and its existence has sparked horrific acts of terrorism and civil unrest. When Salli's brother runs off to embrace the "false religion, " Salli sets out to hunt him down. But when she gets to the enemy enclave, her life is ripped in two. Because a woman there -- a personage of great power -- impossibly, yet undeniably, shows signs of being the Prophesied One.
