Když vesničané zradili Kisseninu rodinu a obětovali ji bohyni ohně, zůstala jedinou přeživší. Ve své cestě za pomstou se Kissen rozhodla stát bohobijkou a loví teď bohy pro zábavu i pro nějakou tu odměnu. Plány se jí však překazí v den, kdy jí cestu zkříží malá Inara s prosbou o pomoc.Její život je totiž spojený s životem bůžka milosrdných lží, Skediho. Bohobijka jí pomůže při útěku před neznámými vrahy a vydává se s ní do Blenradenu, padlého města, kde ještě stále přežívají divocí bohové. Na stejnou pouť se svým vlastním úkolem se vydal i Elogast, pekař a bývalý rytíř. Všichni tři hromadně čelí nástrahám, které se jim postaví do cesty a pevně doufají, že bohové vyslyší jejich prosby. Během své pouti však zjistí, že vše není tak, jak se mohlo zdát – v jejich světě číhá skrytá hrozba a jen oni můžou vše napravit.

Many writers have explored Lincoln's leadership; others have debated Lincoln's ambiguous religious identity. But in this classic work, Christian philosopher and statesman Elton Trueblood reveals how Lincoln's leadership skills flowed directly from his religious convictions—which explains how the president was able to combine what few leaders can hold moral resoluteness with a shrewd ability to compromise; confidence in his cause while refusing to succumb to the traps of self-righteousness or triumphalism; and a commitment to victory while never losing sight of his responsibility for—or the humanity of—his enemy. These rich meditations offer deep wisdom and insight on one of the most effective leaders of all time.

The thrilling epic fantasy sequel to No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller, GODKILLER. The godkiller is dying. Having plunged into the sea's depths to save Elo, Inara and Skedi from the fire god Hseth, her only chance of survival is to put her life in the hands of yet another god: Osidisen, god of the sea for whom she is named. But no godkiller wants to be at the mercy of one, and if she lives she will find herself torn between honour and destruction of all the gods she comes across. That includes the little god of white lies, Skedi, to whom Inara is bound. As they search for answers to their bond, Elo takes up the call of rebellion to destroy the man he once called friend, and still calls king. A king who once devoted himself to destroying all gods throughout the land, but has now entered into an unholy pact with the most dangerous of them all. And where once his heart beat, a god now burns.
