When Ari—once known as the Dreadsaint Batira, the Prophet's Shepherd—is killed by her own wife and strung up from the city gates as a message to her old master, her hopes shattered and her greatest dreams unfulfilled, she's sort of... expecting that to be it. You know: sorry about the sad ending, better luck in your next reincarnation! But two years later, she finds herself resurrected. Her treacherous wife is dead, the master she once adored is now a tyrannical god-queen, and the entire world is about to be swept into a calamity far larger than the petty war she died in. Cool! Great! The best she can do is keep her head down and take up a role as a preceptor at a remote witch's coven while she figures out what the hell happened while she was in the void and what the hell she's supposed to do now. Unfortunately, God-Queen Velnyr Napharos has different plans. When Ari's fearsome former master discovers her disciple is back among the living, she doesn't intend to let her get away again… no matter what it takes.
