The Starving Saints

Aymar Castle has been under siege for six months. Food is running low & there has been no sign of rescue. But just as the survivors consider deliberately thinning their number, the castle stores are replenished. The sick are healed & the divine figures of the Constant Lady & her Saints have arrived, despite the barricaded gates, offering succor in return for adoration. Soon, the entire castle is under the sway of their saviours, partaking in intoxicating feasts of terrible origin. The war hero Ser Voyne gives her allegiance to the Constant Lady. Phosyne, a disorganized, paranoid nun-turned-sorceress, races to unravel the mystery of these new visitors & exonerate her experiments as their source. In the bowels of the castle, a serving girl, Treila, is torn between her thirst for a secret vengeance against Voyne & the desperate need to escape from the horrors that are unfolding within Aymar’s walls.
