WHEN GODS FALL, LEGENDS RISE.Taja Ievisin thought the Oracle Stone would fix all his problems, but all it's left him with are a city in shambles, shocking truths about his gods, and a role he can't possibly fill. He is Sawwia Setukkda, the Second Savior of his people, but without a drop of magic in his blood and no idea how to get his people to trust him, how is he supposed to save anyone?Jekku Aj'ere is finally free –– from his maddening curse, from the Royal Sorcerer who wished to control him, and from the influence of the Oracle Stone. But now what? Grappling with ghosts from his past and torn between two paths, Jekku has to figure out where to turn, even if it means leaving someone behind.But before either of them can move ahead, they've got a mess to clean up. Båthälla is divided –– and most Elshalans remain stubbornly loyal to the gods. If Taja can't win over his people, it's only a matter of time before the gods strengthen their hold and snuff out Båthälla's magic for good. Talli L.
