A fading pantheon, a nameless trickster, and an ultimatum. If the trickster cannot make a world that pleases his wrathful goddess, she will abandon him to the curse creeping up on them all. With no expectation of success, he sets to work. He soon discovers creation is not what he thought and secrets follow him across the cosmos. When a woman on his new world calls him by a name he's never heard, she sets the trickster on a path to unraveling the secrets of his former pantheon. Old friends and enemies appear. New allies come to his aid. And the woman, Leora, proves that she is willing to do anything to help him–even if it means crossing the stars. No matter how far they go together or how much they uncover, there is always another revelation waiting for them. When the final secret of the cursed pantheon's goddess comes to light, it threatens to darken every star that ever was. And the closer the trickster and Leora get to the truth and each other, the more the goddess rages. With the fate of an innocent new world in the balance, the goddess and what remains of her pantheon must be held at bay. Will the trickster and his friends find a way, or will the goddess’s curse swallow everything he has come to love
