Hi, we appreciate your patience as we work through the tremendous backlog. We need a webpage showing the ISBN/ASIN and other book data to validate the info and if available we need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/..., if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).

Senya is an angel, sent to Castilla to guide its people to salvation. At least, that's what the Cult of the Hearth believes. And why not? As a child, she spontaneously emerged from their altar in a burst of smoke and flame. Though she doesn't remember anything from before, she's the first person in living memory with the arcane powers to perform the Hearthlord's miracles.
When the cult opens a portal to the Hearth one day, the angels that emerge are armed for war. After commandeering the altar, they announce their plans to revive their god. Senya follows them to the edge of the world, eager to finally discover her purpose. When she gazes upon the fearsome visage of her god, however, she knows something is wrong. It isn't until there's a knife at her throat that she realizes the truth-Hearthlord's resurrection requires a sacrifice.
