War casts a shadow over the land dragons once ruled. Only the courage of a young woman with the mind of a gambler and loyalty to no one stands between hope and universal darkness. An age of madness and death approaches, with only a few doomed heroes to stand in its way. The high and powerful will fall, the despised and broken shall rise up and everything will be remade. And a jaded mercenary and renegade priest begin a terrible journey with an impossible goal: destroy a goddess before she eats the world. - Back cover.
Not a bad follow-up at all. It's particularly fascinating to watch Geder progress deeper into villainy while still feeling bad for him. More detailed review later.
