Falling in love is easy ... if you're a beautiful mortal, and Kezi is exactly that! Kezi is a beautiful fifteen year old mortal, a talented weaver, and a dancer. She lives a carefree life, until her mother falls deathly ill. Her father swears a horrible vow of a human sacrifice if her mother survives. To save her aunt, who saved Kezi in her younger years, Kezi fulfills the vow, and must be sacrificed to her god, Admat, the one, the all. She has only 30 days to save herself, but will she survive?
Falling in love is even easy for Olus, the Akkan god of the winds. At seventeen, he is the youngest god, and often feels like a misfit. When he decides to investigate the mortals of Hyte, he meets Kezi. For them, it's love at first sight. But how can Olus bear through her sacrifice to Admat?
The two decide to attempt to make Kezi immortal, doing difficult tasks, some that bring questions to mind. Only love will help them. Will Kezi survive? Will she become immortal?
