Paid in Gold and Blood

An angry goddess, a vengeful ghost, a spell that threatens the world . . . and one stranger who might save them all. Katashan left the service of the gods he mistrusted and abandoned the magic that had failed him when he needed it most. However, the gods aren't ready to let him go. At the end of a long journey to escape his past, Kat finds the body of a young woman who was sacrificed that the altar of a goddess he once served, and who now wants him to break the dangerous spell, no matter what the cost to him.
