Wise goddess Dimity could not be more different from her fiery sister, Jedda, so it comes as no surprise that neither can agree on what should be done with the fate of planet Earth. While Jedda opts for nixing the planet altogether, Dimity believes that if given more time, goodness will prevail and the Earthlings will stand a chance of joining the Alliance. To prove how devoted they are to their beliefs, Jedda and Dimity agree to a crafty solution: Their father, Lazarus, permits the goddesses to spend a mortal lifetime on medieval Earth, after which they can decide whether they still stand by their initial judgment. But in a kingdom full of truth and deceit, it isn't long before the two deities find themselves in a vicious battle for control. Only after surviving a lifetime as humans will Dimity and Jedda be able to plead their final cases to their father--if they don't kill each other first.
