Mother of Chaos

A lost soul. An imposter. A killer.

As Queen of the Underworld, Kigal's life has at last fallen into place. Her worship has spread, she has the respect of the Heavens, and is married to a god she loves—when she finds evidence of an atrocity.

When the culprit is identified as the long-dead Anzu, the Hosts of Heaven balk, saying they slew its kind along with the ancient goddess Tiamat—until Kigal discovers treachery deep within their ranks. As she and the gods discover a conspiracy hidden in plain sight, secrets come to light that have remained hidden since the formation of the world. 

There Kigal is met with a scheme she only began to uncover as a mortal: a plot to kill the gods, and to undo everything she's fought for. In a conflict that will exact everything from her, that will make her question what she thought she knew about herself and others, Kigal must race against age-old evils before existence itself comes crashing down.

Mother of Chaos is the last installment in the Mesopotamian fantasy Queen of Shades series. Experience Kigal's final journey today.
