Summary
Carissima Niyat had been born with magic on her tongue.
It had been a tightly-wound coil that sprung as soon as she opened her mouth as a babe, her mother said. Hecate claimed that her first wail extinguished a nearby candle, and her brother’s hiccup in response had ignited it again.
It was a part of her. A nature as secondhand as breathing. She couldn’t help the way magic flowed freely in and out of her, like the channeling of a lightning rod.
So in New Jersey, where it had slowly ebbed away to become weak and faded, Carissima Niyat had decided to ignore the remaining pulse of it thrumming in her veins. She tried to ignore the godhead imbued into her from the moment she was born, that was as much a part of her being as any birthmark or memory.
When the chariot swept down from the sky, blotting out the sun, she knew she made a mistake somewhere along the way. Another mistake. Carissima is forced to confront the past; her home, her family, the war, and the magic thrumming and pulsing inside her with every heartbeat- an incessant, ever-lingering buzz that fills her senses. And worst of all, she finds herself fighting the gods’ battles once again.
