City of Miracles stops circling and cuts to the heart of the The Divine City trilogy, the nature of the gods, and the nature of justice. It opens explosively, literally, as an assassin uses a bomb to kill ex-prime minister (and protagonist from the first novel) Shara. Sigurd, who has been living underground as a wandering manual laborer, now has one last mission: REVENGE.

Of course, it isn't that simple. The job against Shara was more than politics, it relates to that fate of the Divine on the continent, and the children of the dead gods. Most are wandering orphans trapped in perennial childhood, but one, Nokov, god of the night, was found and turned into a weapon by the Saypuri military decades ago. Now, he seeks to ascend to his full power, and Sigurd and few desperate refugees are all that stands in his way. Sigurd has to make sense of a career of desperate violence, his strange history with the divine, and the nature of power, as he tracks down the ultimate conspiracy.
