Book one in the Countenance Divine series
"There is death here, woven through with the rest. Death - and again death"
Pagad Trevayne has a god to kill. Feared and despised because of his Jenemun origins, Isaf will work for anyone as long as the pay is right. Cayla yearns to see more of life than the inside of Julkrean brothel.
But all three are merely pawns in a much larger game. Together with an embittered mountain king and a resurrected demigod, they must battle insurmountable odds - and journey to the very heart of creation itself - before finally confronting the mysterious power that has shaped all their destinies.
