The gods fell from the sky centuries ago, and have become features of the landscape, as commonplace as mountains. These monolithic corpses have collected cities on their backs and villages nestled under their chins, serving as a bastion of safety from the harsh, barren environment elsewhere. Ko, a city guard with a need to feel useful, and Lucy, a wealthy member of the nobility who craves adventure, live in one of those shielded oases. When a catastrophe threatens their home, they are forced into a journey that calls on their determination and tests their hope. As they face monsters that drain the blood of their victims, the death of loved ones, and the stinging sands of the desert, Ko must depend on her own wits and her developing relationship with Lucy to keep them both alive.
