In a world governed by the "Blessings" of the Gods, humanity has forgotten the cost of divinity. Greed and war have turned sacred gifts into tools of slaughter, and the race once known as the Celestials has been hunted to the brink of extinction. Kei is a ghost of a forgotten era. Carrying a blessing that predates the High Gods he wanders the continent looking for someone. But after saving Celena, the blessing-less daughter of a powerful Duke, Kei is pulled from the shadows into a web of royal conspiracies and ancient grudges.
