Power-hungry god Olark has been banished to the realm of the dead...but Adia Kelbara's troubles are far from over.

When a boy with godlike powers escapes a hidden prison and appears in Zaria, Adia's world begins to unravel. The powers he carries were stolen from Adia's mentor, the Alusi Ginikawa, and now the once-powerful goddess is fading from existence.

Then Adia uncovers a secret project is putting everyone in Zaria at risk, so to set things right, she makes a desperate deal with the dark shamanic mastermind behind it - her own Aunt Ife. But when her choice inadvertently sends her best friend, the ancient warrior girl Thyme, back to the past, it causes a series of timeline-altering events that results in Olark being free once more - and stronger than ever.

Adia must harness the power of a god to mend a fractured world.
