‘For fans of John Gwynne’s Faithful and the Fallen and Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive. This is EPIC fantasy.’ - Fantasy Book Critic.

King Emrik is the man who slew God. Or so all the history books say. And he should know, he wrote them.
Granted immortality by the blood of the angels he has devoured, Emrik rules Helesia with an iron fist. Faith is outlawed, punishable by death, and the last of the rogue divinities fall to his relentless Crusade.
But while power corrupts, the flames of rebellion burn anew. Worse still, ancient Terrors slither from the darkness, devouring entire cities. And far to the East, the Forgemistress gathers her monstrous Kin and prepares to end the Fourth Age of Man.
Yet all is not lost…
A prophecy of rebirth, whispered from the lips of a mad angel, binds the fate of three souls…
The last of the Godless Kings fighting an eternal war before the Gates of Heaven.
A wildling boy fleeing from his own mother, hunted by her assassins.
And a young washer woman with a deadly secret hiding in her blood is forced to make a choice: to aid the last of the angels, or to save her mother’s life.
History is Written in Blood, but Fate is Forged in Fire.
