War casts a shadow over the land dragons once ruled. Only the courage of a young woman with the mind of a gambler and loyalty to no one stands between hope and universal darkness.

And a jaded mercenary and renegade priest begin a terrible journey with an impossible goal: destroy a goddess before she eats the world. - Back cover.
