The Champion of Chaos has landed its forces on the shores of Halcyon, and the battle for humanity's survival has begun. Overwhelmed and unprepared, Halcyon's divided factions scramble to respond to a threat against which none of them are ready to meet. As the leaders of the Circle and the religion of Assize search desperately for the fabled Savior of Order, the great fortress of Valor's Keep braces for a war of unprecedented magnitude. Meanwhile, Duncan Milius finds his loyalty increasingly divided between his duty to the military, his outcast Teivan heritage, and his yearning for a normal life with the woman he loves. But he cannot avoid the monumental events that will soon propel him to the forefront of his world's struggle for survival. In the waning days of a world beyond time and imagination, the residents of Halcyon will soon realize that their dream for their future is not only worth fighting for, but worth living for - regardless of the personal cost. "The Time of Meeting" is the second book in the "Harbinger's End" cycle.
