Set in the universe of The Kesher Chronicles, stories from The Kesher Archives are brief, introspective looks at the universe from a character’s point of view as they are directly impacted by the machinations of rival deities Kol-Kesher and Bezrah. In The Gospel According to Rachel, Rachel Rifadoft is torn from her hope of a peaceful afterlife when she finds herself face to face with Kol-Kesher himself. As he strives to make her see and understand his past actions, done on behalf of a doomed humanity, she wrestles with the realization that her entire universe has been a lie all along. Now she must summon the courage to reject all she has been taught and work toward preserving the whole of existence when she realizes how high the stakes really are.
