In a world torn apart by holy war, a field hospital's outlawed mages struggle to heal the casualties of fanatical crusaders. Yasnic, a disgraced priest-turned-rebel, is forced into their ranks, entrusted with a box of orphan gods. As the Palleseen legions advance, the hospital's crew face a precarious existence, their illicit magic a constant threat of exposure and reprisal. In this desperate shadow war, the only hope is to harness the power of the forgotten deities - if they can stay alive long enough to do so.
