Ses Lucani has failed. The gods are free. All that remains is the end of the world.
After two centuries of imprisonment, the gods have returned. Some are content merely to rule, while others demand vengeance for themselves and their followers. As godly servants clash with those people who dare resist, and bodies fill the streets, one thing is clear: anyone who does not submit to the gods' dominance will suffer.
Ses's world lies in ruins. Her allies are scattered, broken, or dead. Against the gods in the fullness of their power, she can't hope to prevail. The completion of their ancient efforts to cleanse the world of the unfaithful seems inevitable until a faint ray of hope arrives from an unlikely source.
Ses learns that imprisonment wasn't always the plan. Those who fought the gods two centuries ago first tried to destroy them utterly using a wrighted weapon of incalculable power. But, where those long-gone fighters failed in their quest for victory, Ses and her remaining allies might yet succeed…
If they are willing to pay the price their predecessors were not.
