When Eliane, the true saint, is banished from the kingdom by the foolish prince and a pretender saint, she must figure out what it means to live her own life for the first time.
Eliane and her allies race to confront the mysterious stranger who has been terrorizing the woods around Linchigham while demanding to see “the fake Saint, Eliane.” Empowered by a malevolent curse that has also turned the forest’s monsters feral, the stranger quickly proves too powerful for Nigel and Ralph to handle. Out of options, Eliane finds herself having to resort to the riskiest of her saintly powers to have any chance of surviving—the double-edged Goddess’s Blessing.
