After the destruction of her native city, Ilati must find a way forward to make a new life and avenge the fallen, shedding her old self as high priestess of the goddess of love like a snake leaves its skin. But with a sorcerer at her shoulder who she isn''''t certain she can trust, the protection of a charioteer with a dark curse, the companionship of a nomadic warrior with a child who is not dead and not alive, and the Mother of Demons herself involved—can she survive? Can she hold onto the righteous path or will revenge and ambition drive her to seek another?
