The God in the Salt

The coreless are nothing. Everyone in the monastery knows it. Solren has spent his life preparing the flesh of gods he is forbidden to taste.

When a courier collapses in the kitchens with a god's heart in his satchel and the reckoners' footsteps are already in the corridor, Solren makes the worst decision of his life.

He swallows it.

Now the monastery that owns him is searching for the missing heart, the one man who might protect him is hiding secrets of his own, and the thing in Solren's chest is getting warmer.

The census is coming. And the books must balance—whether in hearts or bodies.
