The Unwanted Prophet

The Priesthood of Life and Death might be beyond saving, full to the brim with violence, corruption and hypocrisy. In a last-ditch attempt to salvage his order, the God of Life and Death hand-picks a prophet he knows his priests will hate: a woman imprisoned for attempted murder. Will the priests learn the meaning of his seemingly nonsensical choice before their god loses his faith in them?

Quincy Sauer is in jail. As far as she’s concerned, that's where she belongs - until a god of death decides otherwise. He has a plan to undermine his own priests and Quincy is his pawn of choice. Going from criminal to prophet would be a difficult transition under even the best circumstances, but Quincy’s luck is about to turn from bad to worse as corrupt priests, cults, and threats unknown stand between her and the answer to her greatest questions: Has the god of life and death made a terrible mistake? And if he has, who is going to pay the price for it?
