But no matter the location or goal, one thing is clear: the gods hunger for vengeance, and no place on the continent will be safe from their wrath. And still others flock to Lik-Rifa’s side, seeing in her the end of three hundred years of enslavement. Still others continue to pursue their own vendettas, determined to rescue loved ones and wreak vengeance on those who stole them. Faced with a being of overwhelming power, some conspire to bind other awesome powers to their whim, a dangerous play to fight a dangerous enemy. The dragon god Lik-Rifa roams the land, and she’s gathering her monstrous children to her side in preparation for war. The well-realised characters move against a backdrop of a world stunning in its immensity.The time of the gods is upon us once more. 'Visceral, heart-breaking and unputdownable' Jay Kristoff
