The Patron Saint of Perpetual Panic
By @john1208
Binka Mieszek is good at two things: baking poppyseed rolls and being unfailingly kind. When her desperate prayer to save her dying grandfather results in him regaining a full head of glorious hair but still dying, she learns she is the Vessel of the Unasked - a saintess whose miracles manifest with wildly unpredictable, often comical, results. This 'blessing' paints a target on her back. The Sanctified Order of the Final Word declares her a heretical abomination, a glitch in the divine plan that must be erased. Her only hope is Ziven Broz, a pragmatic and perpetually unimpressed spymaster who whisks her away, seeing not a holy woman but a political tool to dismantle the Order's power. Forced on a cross-country run, Binka must learn to control her chaotic powers, from blessing an entire village with uncontrollably melodious singing voices to accidentally turning an assassin’s sword into a bouquet of tulips. As Ziven’s cold pragmatism clashes with her pathological kindness, a reluctant and inconvenient affection begins to bloom. But the Order is closing in, and the great 'salvation' she's prophesied to bring might be a trap designed by the gods themselves. Can a woman who accidentally blessed a river to taste of soup save the world, or will her next miracle be her last?
