Gill is a young woman living in a place where everyone is put into a sleep at night - and some people disappear during that night.  Women are forbidden to carry swords, because it was women's fault that any problems ever happened to her kingdom.  The sleep is brought on by Tashtalon, the god who has "protected" her community for over 500 years.  He's also the one who steals people in the night - maybe to devour them, but who knows.Well, we all know that there's something wrong with this set up.  Gill has a friend who is positive that there is a way to over throw Tashtalon, but unfortunately, it appears that Tashtalon knows about this plot, and Gill's friend is ruthlessly killed.  At that point, Gill discovers that her family holds a key (a real key) that will aid in the destruction of Tashtalon, and she sets off on a journey to overthrow the "god".A solid cast of supporting characters, a story line that flows nicely. Worth the read.
