"They punished her for being inconvenient. I'm going to make her the most inconvenient thing in my life and never let her leave." -Koshin, God of DiscordI learned that honesty gets you hit.I told the truth anyway.My family calls me inconvenient. The gods call it disrespect. The House of Coin calls it a debt-and they want to collect by locking me in a gilded room until I learn to kneel.Then I open my mouth in the wrong chamber, and the God of Discord looks at me and doesn't stop looking.Koshin doesn't rescue me. He takes me-because Coin thinks they own me, and he's never met a claim he didn't want to tear apart with his bare hands.I don't trust him. I don't worship him. I'm not afraid of him the way people expect.But he doesn't flinch when I tell the truth. And in a world where gods trade in lies and mortals learn to swallow them, that's the most dangerous thing about him.The divine Houses rule this city the way crime families rule theirs-through blood, debt, and silence. I've survived all three.I just wasn't prepared for a god who likes me loud.
