The Divine War begins on Gvérdon, where the mad gods of Ishmira attack temples, kill saints, and try to seize their souls.
An Ishmira spy tries to find the God Bomb in the city, leading along with him a boy-saint who serves the Weaver of Fates.
The Great Houses and Hight’s intelligence fight for the chance to collaborate with Gvérdon.
Eladóra Тай avoids the attention of the gods because she knows that holiness brings pain and destroys the soul and body. But despite this, she will have to play an important role in the war and take up a flaming sword.
