Baldur's Gate meets Paradise Lost in this deeply emotional novel of literary fantasy, drawing from mythology, classical tragedies and psychological and philosophical introspection.

If you don't like redemption stories, you are going to hate this book.

Velimir and Peri, progeny of a fallen celestial, were mortal enemies. They are "the wildcards of fate"- they were never supposed to survive the ritual infanticide intended to trigger the celestial's ascension to godhood. Peri, the free spirit, was sheltered by a loving stepfather. Velimir, the creature of will, clung to life out of sheer tenacity.

They were enemies. Now they are allies.

Will they be able to find redemption? Or will they burn together with the world as their monstrous sire ascends?

Familiar figures from Norse mythology make an appearance.
