Book Synopsis
"Epic and intimate, tender and sharp, Godkiller is a triumph of storytelling and the beginning of a story that I can't wait to follow." - Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf
Enter a land where all gods have been banned, and one young woman is paid to kill those who still hide in the shadows--the explosive #1 internationally bestselling fantasy debut in a new trilogy for fans of The Witcher and American Gods.
You are not welcome here, godkiller...
As a child, Kissen saw her family murdered at the whim of a fire god. Now, Kissen makes a living killing gods, and she enjoys it. That is until she discovers a god she cannot kill: Skedi, a small god of white lies, has somehow bound his life to that of a young noble girl, and they desperately need Kissen's help.
Joined by a disillusioned knight on a secret quest, the trio must travel to the ruined city of Blenraden, where the last of the wild gods reside, to each beg a favor.
Pursued by assassins and demons, and in the midst of burgeoning civil war, they will all face a reckoning. Something is rotting at the heart of their world, and they are the only ones who can stop it.
