Great preface:
Q:
The old gods may be great, but they are neither kind nor merciful. They are fickle, unsteady as moonlight on water, or shadows in a storm. If you insist on calling them, take heed: be careful what you ask for, be willing to pay the price. … And no matter how desperate or dire, never pray to the gods that answer after dark. (c)
A nameless eternal girl drifting through ages like a shadow. Lots of stealth and theft and heartbreak going on. Glimpses across timelines: great, if a bit ...more
