On the planet Mithris, humanity is caught in a terrible war...and the gods don’t care. Serena is an eighteen-year-old girl who doesn’t care about the gods. She just wants to be left alone. Unfortunately for Serena, a strange girl named Natalie Bliss falls out of the sky with an urgent mission: Serena must help stop the war and save the world. The girls travel to the Tower of the Gods to plead for divine intervention. On the road, they face assassins, midnight fires, and the chaos of war. Secrets surround them as Serena tries to discover her true identity—and unravel the mystery of the girl who carries a magical umbrella. They hope that the gods will answer their plea for help, but they may already be too late. Betrayal stalks among the gods of Mithris, and the traitor has dangerous secrets that could destroy them all. The clock is ticking for Serena and Natalie—and for the world itself.
