She wants to save her family. He wants to kill the gods who imprison them.
Navira had spent her childhood trapped in a white-walled mansion until two magic-dealing pirates rescued her, granting her years of freedom at sea. So, when the parents she wasn’t born to end up in the Panopticon—a ruthless prison for the most dangerous and insane mortals—she must do the rescuing.
But legend claims no one enters the Panopticon and lives to tell the tale.
No one—except for Benton.
Benton is a thief cursed by the gods themselves, hell-bent on revenge for the abomination his time as a Panopticon prisoner turned him into. When he meets Navira, a curiously silver-haired pacifist bartender who claims to possess the legendary sword, the God Killer, he strikes a deal to take her to the birthplace of his curse. A place he swore never to return. For the gods still watch, and they’re not done with him.
To rescue her family, Navira and Benton will have to brave treacherous lands and seas before infiltrating the prison, all while avoiding the gods’ ever-watchful eyes. Benton must decide what’s more important—vengeance or friendship. And Navira must save her family before they succumb to a fate worse than death, whatever the cost. Even if that cost is her life.
