In the last two years, fire mage Zefra helped defeat a band of pirates, avert a war, and even rescue the gods. What *can't she do? Find a job. Though her deeds are famous, no one believes the legends are about a scrawny, sixteen-year-old girl. With no prospects for work, Zefra leaves to try her luck in another city. But luck is not on her side. A powerful new cult is rising, preaching the downfall of the gods- and she and her friends stand in its way. When they are divided by kidnappers, assassins, and prison, she is left alone to track the clues. Zefra's only hope lies in a team of shapeshifting spies and a coded map to a lost city. If she can't untangle the conspiracy, the death of the gods will be just the beginning.
