Brave and clever young Masika, the daughter of a diplomat and niece of an emperor, has discovered a pair of ex-gods in a secret dungeon below the Fell Citadel.

But a deal with a very questionable imp painted on a playing card in a seedy tavern, sets the trio on a desperate adventure for help to the Alir's constant and deadly enemy, the gods of the Darrish empire.Can Masika, no matter how resourceful, hope to overcome the will of two sets of deities to keep her promise?Hostile armies, ancient sorcerers, and primordial monsters bar the way, but none is so formidable as . . . Masika's most elegant and proper older sister, Meritities.

Heavy lies the head that wears the crown. Heavier still if you add the weight of the basket it's in. Somehow, Keane, the ex-mercenary king of Greenshade, must outwit a wicked usurper from within and an overwhelming army from without. And if that weren't enough on his royal plate, when Keane flees with his pregnant queen and brainwashed mother-in-law, his own nefarious past rears up to smack him in the face. A thousand miles away, Keane's best friend Sarah, a swordswoman and sorceress-in-training, treks toward the only possible ally strong enough to help them: the goddess of either beauty, seduction, obsessiveness, or insanity. Depending on who you ask. Meanwhile, the child of a god commands all the powers of hell in order to grow an empire large enough to swallow the mortal world. Can Keane and Sarah pull enough allies from an adversarial countryside to take back a kingdom, defend it from an empire, and defeat the greatest threat the world has ever known? Keane is an accomplished smartass, and Sarah can blow out a candle from across the room.It should be fine.
