Prayer isn’t a miracle—it’s a machine out of tune.
Branded heretics, gunsmith Ellie and engineer Ray treat God’s Prayer like an engine to fix, not worship. With a tranquilizer cannon, blueprints, and unlikely allies—an elf scholar, a knife-quiet assassin king, a too-clever magnate—they race from arena sands to the lethal sea corridor Widow’s Breath, uncovering choirs-as-circuits and a world breathing through a failing lung. To reach a door that might lead home, they must retune the god-engine, outrun a holy fleet, and choose: go back—or fix this world first.
