You are in Ombrazia, a fantasy world with Italian leaning. People are descended from saints and you are either blessed and receive the magic of your patron saint or you don’t receive magic at all and become unfavoured.
And to be unfavoured means, you don’t have a voice in the government, you get conscripted without your consent to the war and your murder doesn’t mean anything unless you a disciple of a saint.
I enjoyed the magic system , and the characters were developed and flawed. A good mystery runs throughout.
Told in a few 3rd person POV
TW: death, body mutilation, gun violence, poisoning, child death
