The first book of the trilogy. A saint who can materialize any objects out of thin air— including terrible weapons—has been kidnapped. They say he created deadly traps, and three goddesses fell into them; now the inhabitants of Aloria face starvation to death. Yalioil and Arsen agree to uncover the conspiracy and restore harmony to the world—but what if they themselves are full of secrets and contradictions? Will the truth push them apart or draw them closer? Can they withstand the schemes of cunning deities and not retreat in the face of hordes of unseen monsters?
