Summary:

A priestess loses her god. A handler loses her hound.

The gods walk, they run, they kill. We live in an age of gods we created: the work of human hands now inhabited by the spark of divinity. The only thing keeping our pilots from a messy brutal death is a holy order of lamb-priestesses whose blood, prayers and rituals are enough to earn us a morsel of mercy.
