Publisher Description
The epic sword-and-sorcery adventure of the Bound Gods fantasy series, which started with In the Shadow of the Gods and The Bones of the Earth, comes to its dark conclusion in this thrilling story of a vibrant world whose fate lies in the hands of vengeful gods and bold warriors.
The world has been plunged into darkness...and only the scheming priest Joros might be able to bring back the sun.
With his ragtag band of fighters—a laconic warrior, a pair of street urchins, a ruthless priestess, and an unhinged sorcerer—Joros seeks to defeat the ancient gods newly released from their long imprisonment. But the Twins have champions of their own, and powers beyond knowing...and the only sure thing is that they won’t go down without a fight.
The fate of the world hangs in the balance as the Twins aim to enact revenge on the parents that imprisoned them, and the world that spurned them. The Long Night has begun, and the shadows hide many secrets—including that the Twins themselves may not be as powerful as they would have everyone think.
Joros and his allies must strike now—before the Twins can consolidate their power...and before they are allowed to shape the world in their vision.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The Bound Gods trilogy concludes (following The Bones of the Earth) with the rise of evil Twin Gods in a now permanently dark world following their destruction of the sun. Following the Twins' rise, the protagonists retreat underground to regain their strength. Keiro, once a nobody, now acts on the Twins' behalf, but he must prove to their followers that he is worthy. Former priest Jorros, mages Anddyr and Aro, and warrior Rora lost a battle against the Twins, and many of Rora's fellow warriors were killed. They return to Rora's pack and are punished for the loss of lives in the battle. Priestess Vatri and swordsman Scal are building a following to fight the Twins, with Scal becoming known as the Nightbreaker now that the original gods, known as the Parents, have blessed him with a sword of fire and ice. Although the story is often bogged down with unnecessary detail and distracting subplots, series fans will be rewarded by the powerful conclusion.
