Publisher Description
In this epic grimdark conclusion to the Godblind Trilogy, heroes, armies, and gods both good and evil will battle one last time, with the fate of the world itself at stake. . . .
The great city of Rilpor has fallen. Its walls have crumbled under the siege by the savage Mireces; its defenders have scattered, fleeing for their lives; its new rulers plot to revive the evil Red Gods using the city’s captured, soon-to-be-sacrificed citizens.
Now, with the Fox God leading the shattered remnants of the Rilporian defence and the Mireces consolidating their claim on the rest of the country, it’s up to Crys, Tara, Mace, Dom and the rest to end the Red Gods’ scourge once and for all.
While the Rilporians plan and prepare for one final, cataclysmic battle to defeat their enemies, the Blessed One and the king of the Mireces have plans of their own: dark plans that will see gods resurrected and the annihilation of the Dancer for all time. Key to their plan is Rillirin, King Corvus’s sister, and the baby—the Bloodchild—she carries.
As both sides face their destinies and their gods, only one thing is clear: death waits for them all.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Stephens closes her grimdark Godblind Trilogy (after Darksoul) in spectacular style, dexterously balancing heroism, savagery, and heartache. The city of Rilpor has fallen to the invading Mireces, led by King Corvus, but the loss of their evil god, the Dark Lady, leaves their victory a hollow and tenuous one. The Mireces' only hope to maintain their power lies in raising the Dark Lady once again, using the baby that Corvus's sister, Rillirin, carries. Meanwhile the surviving Rilporians plot to retake their city, among them the Fox God, who shares a body with human Crys, and his beloved Ash. All three race to eliminate the spirit of the Dark Lady forever in a battle that will decide the fate of all the warring races of mortals. Graphic violence and skin-crawling horror will put off the faint of heart, but Stephens's characters are strong enough to bear the weight of the darkness. The story builds to an epic crescendo that gives way to a deeply emotional and unexpectedly hopeful ending. This satisfying finale is sure to fulfill series' fans highest expectations.
