Ciara is on her way to the city of Respite to compete in the Nine Kingdoms Tournament. It's an opportunity to grow her Faith and her power, not to mention take home some huge prizes. That is, if she can get through the terrifyingly strong disciples in the tournament, including a certain evil prince with a murderous grudge against Ciara and her whole Faith. Beating the powerful disciples and making it through to the final rounds is challenge enough, but everything is not as it seems in Respite. Murder, intrigue, and plots that span the continent await as the Nine Kingdoms Tournament begins. Ciara and the other members of the Hundred Gods Faith will have to grow stronger, be sneakier, and rely on each other to survive.

John Consequent is the world's only philosophical detective. He can't tell you whether your wife has been cheating or find the Maltese Falcon but if you need someone to convince you that your wife exists or find the true nature of consciousness, he's your man. So, when the police hire him to consult on a serial killer that is trying to prove that humanity is ultimately selfish, it's not his usual sort of case. To make matters worse, a group of nihilists are out to kill him for explaining the meaning of life to one of their buddies. John's going to need more than a clever argument and a comfy armchair to get out of this one.

Ciara has gotten what she always wanted. She is the Champion to not one but three gods and now she's moving to the capital where she can finally be herself and live a life of adventure. But the big city has challenges of its own and, to get what she wants, Ciara will have to duel powerful disciples, contend with deadly royal politics, and even go on her first date. If she's going to succeed, she'll have to work hard, fight often, and get a little help from her friends.

John Consequent, the world's only philosophical detective, is back. But this time, instead of chasing serial killers, he's trying his hand at being a lawyer. He's made a deal and now he has to win three cases for a prestigious law firm or he'll be stuck owing two million dollars that he doesn't have. But looming financial ruin is no excuse to avoid doing the right thing, so John takes two murder trials that look all but unwinnable. To complicate matters, people still need John's help with normal cases, like proving their innocence or dealing with a cult leader who just won't leave. With old enemies coming out of the woodwork, and plenty of new ones to be made, can John beat the odds and come out on top?

Ciara has a chance to represent her Faith before the whole continent, but to do so she'll have to prove to the king that she's got what it takes. That means getting stronger, so she and Adessa have set out to find new gods to pledge to and grow Ciara's power until she can stand against the best young disciples the other nations have to offer. Of course, getting stronger is easier said than done. To reach her goals, Ciara will need to face murderous disciples, brave the dangers of a volcano, and reveal the secret she's been keeping for most of her life. Not to mention contend with the assassin that Prince Art has hired to take her out. Truthspeaker in the third book in a progression-fantasy journey that fans of books like the Cradle series, Iron Prince, or the Mage Errant series will love. The Pantheon series sees Ciara working to impress forgotten gods, fight horrific monsters, and overcome impossible odds.
