Tributary: A person or a nation paying tribute to another to acknowledge submission, to obtain protection, or to purchase peace.
When a mysterious tattoo in an ancient language burns itself into his skin, sixteen-year-old André Alcazar learns a terrifying truth-he is a tribute, a living sacrifice in a five-hundred-year-old bargain with the gods. His soul is bound to their eternal life force, a fate he never chose.
But when the gods begin to fade and Bathalang Maykapal, their mighty chief, vanishes without a trace, chaos erupts. Now, André must uncover the secrets of the broken promise, navigate a world where deities run rampant, and find a way to save the gods-before he, too, is lost to their unraveling power.
How can he fulfill a promise that he never made in the first place?
