A woman who has spent her life in service to various lords finds herself bound to an unprecedented arrangement. Her newest masters are not mortal men but three divine beings known as the Aspects of Fate. She becomes their anchor, tasked with the seemingly impossible job of teaching these gods what it means to be human. The work proves more complex than any she has undertaken before. Managing three divine personalities means navigating triple the frustrations and petty demands she faced with mortal lords. Yet this sacred duty also brings unexpected rewards. Each god requires her attention in different ways, and she discovers that serving three brings pleasures she never anticipated. The woman must balance her role as teacher and servant while managing the competing needs of her divine charges. As she guides them toward understanding mortality, she finds herself caught between duty and desire. The gods depend on her wisdom about human nature, but she learns that even immortal beings can surprise a mortal heart.
