In a land where worship is a crime, one girl's power will change everything.
Ten years ago, Yvaine Steelson's father left on a quest to help save the world from a rogue god, and never returned from his journey.
Now, the gods are outlawed, their worship punishable by death, and the king's Godkillers scour the land to crush their memory. When Yvaine's village is destroyed for its defiance, she and her best friend, Flynn, are forced to flee into the wilds. But when they are hunted down, Yvaine does the unthinkable by calling upon Payus, the god of the forest, for salvation. He answers.
As the god she has always revered ends the Godkillers' lives in bloodshed, Yvaine is thrust into a circumstance she could have never comprehended. With nowhere left to run, she and Flynn set their sights on the capital—only for Yvaine to be chosen by the mysterious Bridgekeeper, a god who dwells between the worlds.
The Bridgekeeper's command is simple: she must deliver a warning to the Oracle of Danbaru to warn the king of his impending death… or risk the destruction of everything that remains. With no other choice, Yvaine vows to carry out her mission, no matter the cost.
