The Tail of the Order of the Blue Maiden

Mieu Notra is sorceress from a faraway land on a quest to free her god from captivity. When Mieu’s grandmother imprisons her and forces her to marry her worst enemy, Mieu uses her powers and wits to break free and absconds with the Seventh Day Bandits, a band of thieves that strike when most decent people are at church.
Ayan the Tail-less is a lowly servant, desperate to prove himself worthy of knighthood. When his menacing god, Griol, appears and offers him a quest, with the maiden’s heart as a reward, he jumps at the opportunity. He enlists the help of his two new-found friends: Jon, his tough-as-nails, streetwise cousin, and Earon Deacon, an eccentric foreigner with unusual accouterment. As they embark on their quest, Ayan soon discovers that Mieu has no need nor desire for his help.
Both Ayan and Mieu are thrust into a series of difficult dilemmas that put them at odds with family, country, religion, and each other. Along the way they’ll meet a multitude of personalities, from the gruff, no-nonsense guardsmen Hester & Prynn, to the fluid and inscrutable hermit Holm. They will find themselves in the middle of a conflict between hardened mercenaries and the refugees they seek to subdue.  They will enlist the aid of fantastic beasts such as giant birds and frogs to make their way across the Earldom of Ethix. Their loyalties to their respective gods are stretched to the limit as they join forces to fight a deadly, common foe: Deseo DeLasombra, a vicious and entitled noble who’s only care is to prove his fanatical devotion to Griol’s cause: WAR.
