The people are calling . . .
And the gods will answer.

Moremi has only ever known of two dragon gods watching over the prosperous Kingdom of Kwa. It is thanks to the great dragons that an unspeakable evil is kept at bay. But when someone tries to claim the gods' power for their own, the process goes dreadfully wrong and the world's darkest shadows are released.

Overnight, Kwa's ancient tales of monsters become all too real. After realising a strange affinity for both God's Moremi is now Kwa's only hope for restoring their full strength.

But will Jagun, the mysterious prince, let her anywhere near the gods? And how does her childhood friend, Nox, feel about it all? In any case, if Moremi fails her quest, then she risks the earth caving in and the sky crumbling down. . . .
