I once read a book that went like this. It had three or four sections in the book. The main character was a young woman that ran away from some kind of forced/profasised demonic marriage and losses memories of why she runs. She has some kind of special dance that can devour life force/souls that is revealed later. She heads to a huge city that has thousands of temples and gods that are worshiped there in one of parts of the book she accidently kills a god (a frog god of some sort) and then brings all of the gods in the city into caporial form with her dance.
There are a few other pieces that i recall. The city has a lot of guilds. There was a princess in a tower where the main character had to sneak into the treasury part of the tower to steal something (or the princess) there was a comment or two about the princess and her guard haveing an affiar during this as well. And at one point the main character rescues a blind snow cat that learn to use the main characters eyes to see.

This is, without question, the first book in P.C. Hodgell's Chronicles of the Kencyrath series, God Stalk, featuring Jamethiel 'Jame' Knorth. It's one of my favourites, so I hope you enjoy re-reading it!

YES, THAT IS THE NAME OF IT! I could not remember the verb in that title, but I could imagine the cover, and it was driving me nuts for a while.

So I, too, thank you!
