Ashâke is an acolyte in the temple of Ifa, yearning for the day she is made a priestess and sent out into the world to serve the orisha.

Desperate, Ashâke attempts to summon and trap an orisha - any orisha. Instead, she experiences a vision so terrible it draws the attention of a powerful enemy sect and thrusts Ashâke into the centre of a centuries-old war that will shatter the very foundations of her world.
