Bridget â€"or Brighid as she insistsâ€" seems to have offered him a deal that is too good to be true, and Christian suspects her of motives she hasn't shown. He decides to just ride it out since he sees no way to go against her.

Join Christian as he tries to make his way in Alius, to learn about the world and its inhabitants. A fantasy world with a troubled past that will try to hide itself from Christian. He has only his interest in fiction and mythology to find the truth the gods hide from their followers.
