The Black Tides of Heaven

Mokoya and Akeha, the 
twin children of the Protector, were sold to the Grand Monastery as 
children. While Mokoya developed her strange prophetic gift, Akeha was 
always the one who could see the strings that moved adults to action. 
While his sister received visions of what would be, Akeha realized what 
could be. What's more, he saw the sickness at the heart of his mother's 
Protectorate.
A rebellion is growing. The Machinists discover new
 levers to move the world every day, while the Tensors fight to put them
 down and preserve the power of the state. Unwilling to continue to play
 a pawn in his mother's twisted schemes, Akeha leaves the Tensorate 
behind and falls in with the rebels. But every step Akeha takes towards 
the Machinists is a step away from his sister Mokoya. Can Akeha find 
peace without shattering the bond he shares with his twin sister?
