From publisher blurb: From the bustling streets of Nexus to the savage western seas, Creation is ripe with threats to mortals and Chosen alike. Crooked traders, vile occultists, and even zealous protectors of the Realm can be found in every city, satrapy, and region waiting for unsuspecting targets or standing their ground as they prepare for the inevitable. In this collection you will meet new foes, encounter old enemies, and learn the inner workings of several different factions and societies dedicated to criminal activity, nefarious plotting, and more. A petty criminal en route to the prisons of Wavecrest, Odara found herself shipwrecked on the tiny volcanic island of Ma’o. Passing herself off as a pilgrim, she ingratiated herself with the island’s volcano-god, Ash on the Wind. But she fell in love with the god, who loved her in return.
