Naomi wakes up in a strange place, with a debt to be paid. This is a city at war, and she soon learns that the rules here are different than the ones she used to know. Partnered with a veteran in her new role, she should be able to navigate her new life. Unfortunately, he's more likely to make a sardonic comment than lend a hand. Soon, she is plunged into political intrigue and a city wide territory dispute between four factions - one for each god. As she learns more about the inner workings of the city, she begins to suspect that there is much more at stake than just territory.
Worst of all, she's already dead. Welcome to the afterlife.
