Fresh from averting all-out war, twins Kele and Hana deal with the neighboring theocradoms challenging Kele for the Amulet of the Four. Worse, one of the most nefarious criminals has also set his sights on it. Then one of the gods herself appears with her own mission for the pair. Kele wrestles with trying to persuade someone else to take on a job identical to the one she would give almost anything to avoid. Hana finds herself doubting not her own beliefs, but if the gods believe in her.
