Exiles’ Refrain
Jadaya, the cast-out warrior branded by her former goddess.
Note, the survivor whose scars run deeper than the ocean.
Rylix, the trader whose exile never truly ended.
Fate didnât choose them. The gods certainly didnât bless them. But when children are being taken and a mad god tightens his grip, these three have only one thing leftâeach other. Together, theyâll face the whims of deities, the weight of expected behavior, and the bone-deep exhaustion of never being enough.
To break the cycle, theyâll risk everything: their fragile alliances, the rage of gods both slumbering and awake, and the only chance any of them have for redemption. But in a world that worships power and demands obedience, sometimes the greatest act of rebellion is refusing to breakâeven if it means setting the tearing the world apart first.
Becoming Exile isnât the end.
