One second, Lyra Starling is walking home from the grocery store. The next, she's in a fantasy world where the gods walk among the people and call her 'priestess.'

An agnostic in a world where the divine and the mundane are inextricably linked, she finds that she is an outsider despite the ability that marks her as a priestess - the ability to see and speak to the deities that walk the world. As Lyra sets off on a journey alongside a godslaying paladin to discover why she was brought here, she learns that divine doesn't necessarily mean good, and sometimes there is horror in the holy.
