The continuing fantastical adventures of the young-but-wise thief Widdershins, who carries a deity in her head-and carries the weight of the past on her shoulders...After the tragic events that befell her and her friends, Widdershins--along with her aggravating personal god Olgun-fled her home city of Davillon searching for respite. But there is little peace to be found in the increasingly troubled land.And no place is more troubled than the town of Lourveaux, where intrigues and conspiracies against both the church and the government buzz like flies. But Shins is more concerned with the local Delacroix family than whoever wants to take down the powers-that-be. Because her beloved, late adoptive father was a Delacroix.Now, the last remnants of House Delacroix are under siege. Their crops are being blighted. A rival noble house is striving against them. And a ruthless criminal gang with their very own alchemist is working from the shadows to take them down. But Widdershins isn't the kind of girl who forgets her family......and the enemies of the Delacroix have no idea what they're about to come up against.
