Books like God Stalk by P. C. Hodgell

Jame, a member of the Kencyr—non‑native warriors wielded by a Three‑Faced God against the perennial Perimal Darkling—escapes a destroyed home in the Haunted Lands. Her memories stretch back only a few weeks, yet she carries with her a legacy spanning three centuries of alien combat. Upon arriving in the city of Tai‑tastigon, she abandons the Kencyrs’ traditional values of honesty and justness to apprentice under a renowned thief of the Thieves’ Guild. In a city that embraces myriad gods, she experiments with diverse religious rites, even killing and resurrecting a deity. Living at the inn Res aB’tyrr, she is compelled to perform sacred Kencyr dances she no longer remembers, entertaining—and occasionally harming—inn patrons. Throughout her trials, Jame’s latent power grows, threatening both the city’s stability and her own identity. In the midst of this turmoil, she confronts a destiny intertwined with her people’s past and the future of both Tai‑tastigon and the Kencyr.
