The people of Bakhtin are unshakably convinced: as long as their goddess sits on the Scarlet Throne, the country is guaranteed prosperity. But the goddess has never existed. Binsa—the current Rakhti of Bakhtin, the “vessel” of the goddess of wisdom, Rashmatun—knows this better than anyone. For already ten years, she has had to carry a merciless demon within her and hide it, because even in childhood her mother drilled a simple truth into her: only the throne will save her from starvation.
A poor harvest, drought, and rumors of goats falling from the sky hint that Girkhhi’s Prophecy is coming true. High Priest Harun and his heir Nudin are preparing to choose a new Rakhti, and the throne for Binsa, once a symbol of power, is rapidly turning into a sentence. To lose it means ending up again in a world of poverty and loneliness from which she has fought so hard to escape. But the longer her reign continues, the clearer one thing becomes: the power that feeds authority demands ever more terrible sacrifices—and one day it may take Rakhti herself. To keep herself on the Scarlet Throne, Binsa is forced to strike a new bargain with the demon. And the demon always takes payment—and this time he wants human blood.
