Kissen was never meant to survive. As a child, she watched a fire god slaughter her family. Now, she makes her living hunting the very beings that destroyed her world. A godkiller for hire, she has no illusions—only weapons and vengeance.
But when a young noble girl crosses her path, carrying a god bound to her very soul, Kissen faces the one enemy she can’t simply cut down. Forced into uneasy alliance with a disillusioned knight and the child she cannot abandon, Kissen is drawn into a perilous journey across a kingdom where outlawed gods still whisper in shadows.
Civil war brews. Assassins close in. And at the heart of Middren, something ancient festers. Can a broken killer save a dying world?
