The stranger’s obscured past connects him to the killings, while the city’s divine inhabitants place the mystery against a broader conflict between mortal lives and the gods’ will. As a sequel to *The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms*, the novel returns to a setting where divine power and everyday life intersect.
