Spirits of Bagan
Read the storyIn the Bagan Kingdom, as King Anawrahta’s reforms push the old spirits into silence, Thiri can still see the nats everyone else pretends are gone. When a forbidden shrine is destroyed and something dangerous escapes, Thiri is forced from her river village into a kingdom where faith is being reshaped by decree and the starving spirits of the land are growing cruel. Traveling among ruined shrines, uneasy monks, and forgotten gods, she must bargain with beings that once protected her people—and now demand a terrible price to survive. As the boundary between devotion and denial collapses, Thiri faces a choice that will decide not only which spirits endure, but what kind of faith the kingdom will inherit.
