Synopsis
Deathless Gods follows Jame Knorth after her hard-won return from Tai-tastigon, as multiple crises converge on the Kencyrath's fragile political order. The rival Randir faction works to consolidate power and strip leadership away from the Knorth house, a succession crisis unfolds at Omiroth involving a senile king and questionable heirs, and Jame's cousin Kindrie Soul-Walker is held as a political hostage by enemies looking to weaken her family further. At the same time, a dissatisfied Kendar administrator schemes against both Jame and her brother Torisen over her controversial use of the ancient Kencyrath gates, leaving Jame to face mounting threats to her house's standing from every direction at once.
