a long-exiled goddess is rising once again, and with her are two girls whose destinies are interlinked in more ways than one.

TEASER QUOTE:
“ for a moment peitho stopped and sighed, admiring the way the man’s blood mixed with the fountain’s water, blossoming from his wounds in beautiful, soothing ribbons and infecting every inch of the fountain. “
