Sieh the Trickster, a billion-years-old child and first godling grandson of the fearsome, universe-spawning Maelstrom, plays too hard with a mortal brother and sister and falls in love. When a strange accident strips Sieh of his powers these two royal scions of the Arameri dynasty--the family who once enslaved Sieh and his father--must literally move heaven and earth to save him, while the implacable vengeance of a neglected deity threatens to shred all existence to rags. In The Kingdom of Gods, death, lust, betrayal, and mercy collide.
