The gods have done a great deal to keep their lands separate. King Ashay, god of Change, rules the ancient and frigid northern country of Atlas. Queen Kamasqa, goddess of Creation, cradles her people in the southern nation of Thelan. When one lone merchant ship secretly departs the southern coasts in a desperate bid to establish the first trade route between, the consequences will ripple throughout history. Emmie, native to Thelan, raised soft and sweet by her father, but gifted wit and courage from her mother, is discarded on the frozen coasts of Atlas after her father's merchant ship wrecks. Quickly discovering--but not understanding why--she is immune to the ruling god-King's magic, she uses her unique resistance to push back against his ruthless reign. Intrigued by her unyielding spirit, Ashay finds her defiance both maddening and captivating. Their fiery clashes spark philosophical debates and tentative warmth, forging a slow-burn bond that will unfold across a sweeping series. As Emmie confronts her trauma and Ashay grapples with his own nature, their connection will change the lands, change the gods, and change them both... forever.
