The land of the gods suffers from a supernatural blight resulting in famine, stillbirths, and strife, but instead of beseeching the gods for help, Eirian Frost finds them pleading for hers. The problem is she’s just learned she possesses an unruly, banned magic that makes her a target of not only a covetous enemy but also her allies.

A childhood tantrum resulting in her mother’s death led Eirian to accept that she cannot alter fate. Instead, she has learned to surrender to it. But with the blight, a doomsday cult led by a self-proclaimed prophet gaining power, and banished monsters returning to stalk the night, Eirian realizes the world will soon be uninhabitable if she doesn’t answer the gods’ call and fight back.

Reversing the damage hinges on Eirian and her friends Viryda Thistle and Rowe Cinder recovering the Prism, an artifact that regulates life and death—but the Prism has been hidden for millennia, and the Prophet has a secret power that can wrest from her what little control Eirian has over her magic.
