Summary
“Your bull’s blood is drying, Erishti-Aya,” the god murmured, with a careless gesture at the altar. “You’ll receive no better offer, no matter how many gods you plead to nor sacred cattle you slaughter. You can accept my terms now, or you will never in all the landscape of history see him again.”
The breath in her lungs turned to smoke as the image choked her: his face in the flickering lantern-light, a soft sigh under the full moon, I’m sorry, Aya, that your god makes you betray them.
Gone, the cautious smile on his face — gone, the understanding in his eyes — gone, the hands that crafted bronze into beauty — gone, the curses on his lips at his master — gone, the clever fingers and quirking eyebrows — gone, gone, gone —
“Yes,” she whispered. “Yes, I agree to your terms.”
And what a mistake that was.
An immortal woman and her lover, a man who always dies and is reborn with the memories of all of his past lives. Caught in a wheel thousands of years in the making, they search for each other, and for revenge on the god that did this to them.
