Description:

Seer, healer, goddess, slave—she is all these things and more. Yim is a young woman suddenly cast into slavery, a gifted seer with a shocking secret—and a great destiny. Honus is a Sarf, a warrior dedicated to the service of the compassionate goddess, Karm. A Sarf's sole purpose is to serve a holy person called a Bearer. But Honus' Bearer has been killed by the minions of an evil god known only as the Devourer. Masterless and needing someone to bear his pack, Honus purchases Yim for the price of ten coppers—and their fates are forever entwined.
