Über diesen Titel

Thea is a washed-up mimic exterminator who expected more out of life, not some hero from stories. Aven is an impulsive wandering adventurer whose personal goddess is constantly getting her into trouble. Neither of them has the slightest interest in getting involved in world-shaking historical events.

History doesn't care what they want, unfortunately. It's fallen right into their laps in the shape of a god-slaying weapon from a fallen civilization. Thrown together out of chance, Thea and Aven will have to learn to work together if they want to survive their pursuers.

Because if they fail, and the weapon falls into the wrong hands? The results won't be pretty. No one's going to be using it on some random street corner goddess, teakettle god, or any of the other countless teeming millions of divinities on Ishveos.

No, there's one target that sits above all others.

Cambrias, whose watch never ends. Cambrias, whose power has given rise to Cambrias' Wall, the greatest city in the known multiverse—a city that has already covered much of a continent and is strip-mining entire mountain ranges for space and building material. A city that threatens to spread across the entire surface of Ishveos.

And there's no shortage of folks willing to kill Thea and Aven in order to stop the Wall, no matter the consequences.

This book was a wonderful surprise! I was so invested in the story with its unique and interesting world building and system of deities, funny and lovable but still fallible Female (<3) protagonists and fantastic voice actress. I really had a blast and am very much looking forward to the next book!

A breeze of fresh wind

Great start of the series. It not only contains action and likeable characters, but also a surprisingly deep discussion about the social and economic ramifications of trading with boons and blessings from various gods you won't find elsewhere.

Great start

John Bierce wrote an immersive love letter to expansive world-building with genuinely captivating characters. The progression feels well-paced and central to problem solving in the narrative structure. The gods, the mimics, the creative god gifts/powers and the expansive setting are incredible. I haven't been as excited about a progression fantasy setting since reading The Weirkey Chronicles. The start is a bit slow due to alternating background chapters, but they are awesome as well.

The best new progression fantasy in 2025.
