My name is Eve Redding.
You may have heard of me.
Since curing the Sickness, my team and I were in high demand. That's why we were in a remote, smoke-filled desert attending a tournament-style Trial to honor the local goddess.
Then, some idiot thief with an agenda beyond simple treasure decided to steal the Oracle's third gift, a puzzle band that would grant prophetic visions when solved.
They gave it to the local goddess as an offering.
Now, to get it back, I must enter the blood games, and win.
This is a novella side adventure. It runs concurrently with the end of Gods of Myth and Midnight, covering some escapades otherwise only mentioned in passing. It is not critical to read this interlude to understand the ongoing plot.
But it is great fun!
