Iro's journey continues to traverse the realms. Aos takes Iro to the Above to partake in a divine ritual. It isn't Aos she's worried about, but the other gods in the Above. Fenroh, King of the Gods, has hidden himself away, and the Goddess of the Hunt is hostile in her presence. But there is something else bothering her, a little mystery in her mind. A name she doesn't recognize keeps popping up in conversation too many times for it to be a coincidence.

The plant plague has evolved into the Black Blight. The death toll from starvation is unknown. Separated by their struggles to live as peasants, Iro and Sebastian go on their own journeys to self-discovery.

We start at the beginning. Our protagonist wakes up barefoot, covered in blood, and surrounded by the dead. Without a name or memories, she decides to run. She is saved by Sir Septimus Sabine, who gives her a name, Iro, and leaves her in the trusting hands of Mother Bordeaux. But in a twist of fate, Mother Bordeaux sells Iro to the greedy King of Bast as a nanny.

The journey ends here. Iro and the pantheon find themselves thrust into a divine competition set by the malevolent Creator for the throne in the celestial realm. In this climactic showdown between divinity and destiny, malignant forces weave their way around shadowed corners and, unexpectedly, in the most brilliantly illuminated spaces.
