THERE IS A HEART BURIED IN THESE ASHES AFTER ALL…
In the sacred lands of Wirth, the gods answer prayers of the faithful with divine power. Most are blessed. Others are forsaken.
Leo chose to forsake the gods instead.
After a bitter betrayal drove him to exile, Leo has spent years wandering the continent, haunted by a goddess who refuses to let him die. Returning home is the one thing he swore he'd never do.
Isola has never believed the gods had a place for her. But when her closest friend disappears, taking with her a magic Wirth has long forgotten, she's willing to cross kingdoms and challenge fate itself to bring her home.
Their search leads to the homeland Leo abandoned and to pasts neither of them is prepared to face. As their uneasy alliance turns to something deeper, Leo must decide whether to keep running or fight for Isola—even if it means giving the goddess what she wants.
