Myadi Wasanthi has been a sword-for-hire for years and has to hide a part of herself that society doesn't accept. The jobs have always been a means to an end for her, to get revenge on the one who forced her to live like this. But her hunt for vengeance gets delayed when she arrives in the bustling city of Gilli. She finds herself getting pulled into situations that any traveling mercenary would wonder if the job was worth the money.
A mysterious cult is attempting to usurp Draj, the god of chaos on Gosp Pire, and they keep derailing her quest for revenge. These dealings force her to help one of the gods, and they all abandoned her a long time ago.
In spite of that, Myadi finds herself caring about someone else unexpectedly. A baker and the smell of her romantically baked bread grabs her attention and warms her cold heart.
