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.

Bohobijka umírá. Když se Kissen vrhla z útesu do hlubin moře, aby zachránila Ela, Inaru a Skediho před bohyní ohně, její jedinou šancí na přežití zůstalo svěřit svůj život do rukou jiného boha: Osidisena. Žádný bohobijec ale nechce být vydán na milost a nemilost nějakému bohovi. Pokud přežije, tak jen kvůli tomu, aby dokončila svůj úkol a zničila vše, co jí zkříží cestu. A to včetně malého bůžka milosrdných lží, Skediho, ke kterému je Inara připoutána. Zatímco Ina a Skedi hledají odpověď na otázku ohledně jejich pouta, Elo shání spojence, kteří by vyslechli jeho výzvu k rebelii a připojili se k němu, aby společně zničili muže, kterého sám kdysi nazýval přítelem a stále jej nazývá králem. Tím králem, který kdysi přísahal, že zničí všechny bohy v téhle zemi. Teď je ale všechno jinak. Král se spolčil s tou nejnebezpečnější bohyní ze všech a v jeho hrudi, tam, kde kdysi tlouklo lidské srdce, teď žhne její plamen.

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.
