Two centuries ago, the kingdom of Honoria's goddesses were silenced in blood. Now, as the realm's fragile peace falters, the whims of a king may reignite the engines of war.

At the last remaining cloister of the sun goddess, a young postulant seeks safety for her child but discovers that sanctuary comes at a heavy price. In the castle on the mountain, a queen treads a knife's edge between loyalty and betrayal, desperate to shape a gentler future. And deep in the mountain's heart, a blinded priest waits in the darkness, biding his time...

Together, they will risk the wrath of gods and kings - and decide the fate of a kingdom.
