Answer:We don’t use this much nowadays — dictionaries usually tag it as archaic or literary — except in the set phrase make the welkin ring, meaning to make a very loud sound.
What supposedly rings in this situation is the vault of heaven, the bowl of the sky, the firmament. In older cosmology this was thought to be one of a set of real crystal spheres that enclosed the Earth, to which the planets and stars were attached, so it would have been capable of ringing like a bell if you made enough noise.
The word comes from the Old English wolcen, a cloud, related to the Dutch wolk and German Wolke. Very early on, for example in the epic poem Beowulf of about the eighth century AD, the phrase under wolcen meant under the sky or under heaven (the bard used the plural, wolcnum, but it’s the same word). Ever since, it has had a strong literary or poetic connection.
It appears often in Shakespeare and also in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales: “This day in mirth and revel to dispend, / Till on the welkin shone the starres bright”. In 1739, a book with the title Hymns and Sacred Poems introduced one for Christmas written by Charles Wesley that began: “Hark! how all the welkin rings, / Glory to the King of kings”. If that seems a little familiar, it is because 15 years later it reappeared as “Hark! the herald-angels sing / Glory to the new born king”.

Answer:
Killer of Enemies is set in a world influenced by science fiction, steampunk, and dystopia. The Ones, who are humans with genetic enhancements and technological “upgrades,” rule everyone else. However, a magnetic storm known as the Cloud knocked all the technology out, and the world has returned to the steam age. Although many of the Ones died during the Cloud, some survived, and they’re more determined than ever to protect their position. They recruit slaves—anyone who is not a One—to keep them safe. Even though the Ones have lost their technological power, they still control the land, and people are too afraid to challenge them. Lozen tells her family that she plans on fleeing the compound and that they’ll leave with her. One night, they run, reaching a safe space in the desert. Lozen’s sure she can protect them, even if she doesn’t know where their journey will lead them next. Her choices form the basis of the trilogy’s second book.
