Synopsis

Thrown into life in a strange city, Mati, a young village girl, finds herself trapped in a battle between two empires, one thirsting for blood, the other for gold. With nothing to gain from this war, she must fight to survive so that she can escape the city with her life. The longer she stays, the more she learns about a world she knew nothing of. Life is driven by death, and death is driven by the gods. But when the gods are taken away, all that is left is humanities' fight for salvation. Only, for Mati, that salvation must be found in the shadows of an enemy's crumbling empire.
