The old gods are dead. The new gods, who killed them, are unequipped to fill their vacancy, and an already dangerous and chaotic world grown ever harsher under their misrule.

Orphaned, a young woman names Nesira leaves her mountain home for the world beyond, and must balance the needs and challenges of the strange and dangerous world she finds herself in, a final request from her late mother, and her own complex and contradictory desires. In so doing, she becomes entangled with the last paladin of a dead god, a monster in the shape of a man, and the tangle of forces that underpin the world.

I will attempt to post one chapter a week, on thursday, if possible, though I make no guarantees, especially early on.
