The Gods are back. Briar knew it wouldn't be easy dealing with Eliana, but she thought the other Gods might help her. This is their problem, after all. But they don't want to answer her call, and when they do, it's always the same answer—blood, sacrifice, loss. All the things Briar doesn't want to hear. Still, with Bastianna and her group of Believers breathing down her neck, Briar has to figure out some way to banish the errant Goddess. She just hopes she can do it without losing everyone she loves.
