| Summary, Etc. |
Years ago, the descendants of the god of Death were murdered. The few that remain are in hiding, including Crow, a teen who survived the genocide and hides their magic to stay alive. After fleeing their village, Crow now lives with their uncles in the lowest part of the Shallows. Life in the Shallows is tough, but Crow's even tougher. Hiding their magic has made Crow resourceful, cunning, and unbeatable -- which comes in handy as a fighter in the city's lucrative underground fighting ring. Then, Crow's uncles are arrested for harboring Deathchildren. With fists tightly clenched, Crow vows to set their uncles free. But to do that, they're going to need to enter a world that threatens Crow's very existence. Carefully navigating the politics of the wealthy and powerful, they enter the Tournament of the Gods -- a gladiator-style competition where the winner is granted a favor. As they battle their way towards the winner's circle, Crow plans to ask the gods for their uncles' freedom as their reward. But in a city of gods and magic, you don't ask for what you want. You take it.
