An eight hundred-year old priest on a quest for redemption. A young goddess trapped in a cult. A blind woman aching to right her wrongs. A runaway desperate for a new start. After the death of his last Scribe, High Priest Luriel the Seventh is on the hunt for another. Halfway across the world, Dakota Locke is being granted the chance of a lifetime. When the two of them meet, Dakota sees a way out from her abusive guardian. All it requires is following the decaying High Priest around the world as he seeks redemption and the resurrection of the gods. What at first seems to be a simple task proves to be anything but. The animosity from across the sea and within Luriel's ranks only seem to grow. Dakota must choose between what everyone wants her to be and what is right. Failing to do so will spell the end for her - and for everyone else. [Content Warning: Heavy references to abuse, suicidal thoughts, depictions of PTSD, and self-harm. Cover by Lowry Hart]
