"The Gods of Belteros were not a kindly lot; they were petty, jealous and cruel."
All his life, Pelthiel and his sister, Leithia, had steered clear of the gods, the secrets of their bloodline as well as the warning uttered by their mother prompting their decision. The last thing they need is for the Gods to discover their truth and the extent of their magic.
However, when Pelthiel and Leithia save a stranger from drowning, they are forced to reveal their magic. Even worse, Pel develops feelings for Belthin who is no ordinary man. He is the chosen sacrifice of Utfer, one of the Gods, and the city of Nagir and its warriors would kill anyone who keeps him from them.
Even worse, Leithia and Pelthiel discover something about Belthin that could tear their entire world apart. Something far worse than the armies of Nagir and the wrath of Utfer is coming for them. The Gods have seen them, and they are coming.
But sometimes, even the Gods are powerless against one man.
