Vessel

This atmospheric fantasy is, â€œfrom the gripping first line, a fast-paced, thought-provoking, and stirring story of sacrificeâ€ (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

Liyana has trained her entire life to be the vessel of a goddess. The goddess will inhabit Liyanaâ€™s body and use magic to bring rain to the desert. But Liyanaâ€™s goddess never comes. Abandoned by her angry tribe, Liyana expects to die in the desert. Until a boy walks out of the dust in search of her.

Korbyn is a god inside his vessel, and a trickster god at that. He tells Liyana that five other gods are missing, and they set off across the desert in search of the other vessels. For the desert tribes cannot survive without the magic of their gods. But the journey is dangerous, even with a godâ€™s help. And not everyone is willing to believe the trickster godâ€™s tale.

The closer she grows to Korbyn, the less Liyana wants to disappear to make way for her goddess. But she has no choice: She must die for her tribe to live. Unless a trickster god can help her to trick fateâ€”or a human girl can muster some magic of her own.
