An encounter with her father's goddess has not turned out to be the end for Sarah Elytharias Penn.

Eliza Scaggs (not Scraggsies, thank you very much) is tired of all the rumors about her. Sure, she’s looking a bit haggard as of late, but she’s been working herself to the bone on a secret government project to prove that she, the only woman in the wizard’s guild, belongs there. So, maybe she’s got some gray in her hair, but she’s not old, not old-old— and the only thing she’s made a pact with is her purveyor of rot brew tea. Okay, the pet monster thing is true, but Throat Ripper hasn’t caught anyone, not yet.

It is a time of old gods, of new beliefs, and new restrictions on living.

Justice and belief are under attack, being rewritten by the Normans.

Upon finding her quarry, Talen realizes Margaret isn't stained at all, but someone worked very hard to make her appear so.
