An orphan out to find the truth within a warped religion turns his
poetry into prayer--a prayer that awakens a cursed girl hungry for
revenge.
Centuries after a miracle vanquished Tresttato's monsters and turned the
soldiers fighting them to stone, Milo lovingly tends to the statues of
those who protected the city. Raised with devout templars and scholars,
autistic temple ward Milo wants nothing more than to be accepted into
their ranks. When his prayers admiring her heroic sacrifice accidentally
free Gia from stone, she wakes with a fury to kill the man Milo owes his
life to, Primo Sanct Ennio.
Gia claims that the immortal holy leader Milo lives to serve is the same
man who betrayed her and transformed her into a statue--and what Milo
always believed was a miracle was actually a curse that Gia will stop at
nothing to break. Even if she has to kill his followers to do it. Even
if she must kill the boy who woke her.
