Titus Albrecht is a problem. He's crown prince and heir to the throne of Cecame, and abuses poetry and addictive substances in equal measure. He's also the chosen of a god of the night sky and war, and that fact dumps him right into the middle of a battle between an entire pantheon of gods. Surviving that battlefield is the first miracle. He'll need a lot more of them to survive the rest of it. Those miracles arrive as seven other survivors chosen by gods, and now he has an entire pack of fools to attempt to attack and dethrone a mad god. If plotting advisors and assassins don't kill him first.
