About This Book

The story follows Mryna Brill, a young woman raised to revere an Earth-god who governs a forest settlement shrouded by perpetual mist. She uncovers old printed materials and an astronomy text that reveal her world is a planet called Rythar and that the deity is a human who uses machines and metal guardians to control the populace. Frustrated by taboos, unequal marriage prospects, and secrecy, she takes a job in the answer house and conceals herself aboard a god-car to ascend above the rain mist, confronting the technological apparatus and social order that have kept her people ignorant.
