Ruyo is the Goddess of Water, with nearly several months of experience at the job. Her magic relies on convincing people to pray to her. So far she's tried to make herself at least a little worthy of that worship. She rescued a kidnapped kid, fought a cult wielding fire elementals, trained intensively in magic, and learned of the wicked God of Light imprisoned beneath a nearby village. Unfortunately, her spirit sidekick Nusina has been captured by the remaining cultists. Also her low-key attempt to end slavery in the city-state of Averell has led to an uprising, just when its leaders are preparing for war.

  Can Ruyo get her friend back, prevent a bloody revolt, and help her uneasy allies work together, all while gaining the power and trust that a god needs?
