As a paladin and prime of the Dark Goddess, Ginnevra travels the world with her werewolf companion Eodan, protecting the innocent and destroying evil. Her latest mission: to escort an anointed to the holy city of Abraciabene to receive the highest ordination of the Goddess’s servants—the first man ever to do so. Now Ginnevra and Eodan must guide their party of paladins and anointed on a monthlong journey through the badlands, struggling to maintain an uneasy peace within their company. Hounded by evil werewolves and followed by a mysterious creature only Ginnevra can see, her greatest challenge may be from the very man she is sworn to protect.
