Madeleine would like to be nice to other people – probably. It’s rather dependent on them not wanting to burn her at the stake. However, a life of running from pitchfork and flaming torch-wielding hordes has merely increased her skills of lying, brawling and running like hell.
Marked out by fate to be a man of unique destiny, Cadwallader is a baron on a secret mission to talk to gods and find the truth about reality – unaware that gods and truth are mutually exclusive.
The gods don’t know what Madeleine is. Neither does she: she’s put a lot of effort into forgetting.
The gods decide to meddle and make the two meet, but gods and wisdom are also mutually exclusive.
