Somebody has to talk to the gods. This is a sacred duty.
For Maran, thereβs no glory in this role. Sheβs the messenger, and she canβt risk making the gods any angrier than they already are. Her only power is brokering a compromise and hoping that everyone agrees.
Thereβs no school for this. Thereβs nobody to call if sheβs in trouble. Nobody will call her a hero. In the end, sheβll see this through, because souls are on the line and live will rise and fall based on her intervention.
When gods are involved, she only has one chance to get it right.
This book collects Weeds Among Stone, Earth and Heaven, and As Justice Demands into a single volume.
