Izlana, goddess of creation, is on her first journey to the human world. She thinks the god of war wants to accompany her as a friend-but he betrays her, delivering her to human slavers. These cruel men neutralize her powers with a magical collar, leaving her vulnerable and weak in a strange new world. After being bought by a man who is aware of her powers-and who appears to have sinister plans for her-Izlana seeks help from Marric, a servant who treats her with kindness no others show her in this harsh new world. She's terrified to realize she's falling for him, since it's forbidden for a goddess to love a human. With her feelings just as trapped as she is, she'll have to learn to live without him, regain her powers, and return home... alone. Except her bond with Marric isn't the only obstacle in her way. In order to return home, Izlana will have to fight her way through the growing war between the humans and the gods. If she fails, more than just her heart is at stake...both the heavens and the earth will crumble
