Publisher Description
In the epic finale to the #1 internationally bestselling Fallen Gods trilogy that started with Godkiller, the fate of Middren hangs in the balance as mighty gods and mortal heroes clash in a final battle for supremacy.
In this epic fantasy, war has come. The fire god Hseth is leading an unstoppable army south, consuming everything in her path. Middren's only hope of survival is to unify allies and old foes against a common enemy.
Elo navigates an uneasy alliance with Arren—his friend, his enemy, and his king. Now they each must decide how much they're willing to sacrifice to turn the tides of war.
Meanwhile, Inara joins her mother on their ship, the Silverswift, to seek aid. Still grappling with her powers, Inara must reconcile who she is and where she belongs, while Skediceth has to question if their bond will be enough to keep them safe.
Kissen has no allegiance to the old ways of Middren. But, as she tries to find her found family, she is forced to question what, and whose, future she is fighting for.
In Faithbreaker, Hannah Kaner delivers a powerful conclusion to the Fallen Gods trilogy, masterfully weaving together love and sacrifice, loyalty and betrayal, and the true meaning of faith.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kaner expertly sticks the landing in her page-turning conclusion to the Fallen Gods trilogy (after Sunbringer), which sees gods and humans collide in an epic struggle for control over the land of Middren. To combat the fire god Hseth's reign of violence, seafaring Lady Lessa Craier has reluctantly allied with volatile King Arren. Now she; her demigod daughter, Inara; and Inara's companion Skediceth, the god of white lies, sail in search of others who will support their cause. Warily joining them is godkiller Kissen, who's determined to keep a protective eye over Inara. Meanwhile, knight Elogast comes out of retirement to serve as a commander in Arren's army, despite his lingering hurt over Arren's past betrayals. As Hseth's followers burn through countless cities in worship of their god, the scattered friends must find courage within themselves and inspire it in their allies before Middren is lost for good. Kaner masterfully manipulates the plot's many moving pieces, braiding pulse-pounding action, unpredictable twists, and quiet character beats into a poignant tale of love, sacrifice, and hope. It's an impressive feat.
