Helsia Laufey set out to experience another world.
They never intended to change one.
They arrive in a land where the gods have been dead for centuries, where temples have become ruins and miracles are remembered as history.
Then a town burns.
Relics vanish. Forgotten places begin to matter again. And a message from home reaches Helsia by the name they chose for the path they meant to walk:
Whisper.
A whisper of steel.
Helsia carries something this world has not known in generations: proof that a living god still exists.
As faith begins to spread, so does something else. Old stones remember. Broken temples stir. Forgotten inscriptions become instructions. And far from Helsia's path, something impossible is learning what this world will allow it to become.
The age of abandonment is ending.
The gods are returning.
And not everything that answers a prayer deserves to be worshipped.
