The Rebel Goddesses

A coup is over. A holy war is just beginning. The second volume of the dark epic fantasy saga of love, ambition, eldritch horrors, and a continent at religious war. Beatrice Feski no longer smiles at court and listens. The Scaligers are restored, the city is theirs, and the cupbearer who saw the old admiral murdered now carries a vow, a network, and a goddess at her shoulder — and the war the brothers have started cannot be won without her.

But the throne the brothers have taken is not the prize they thought it was. A cathedral burns in a neighbouring city. Children sing inside the flames. Across the strait, mobs hunt strangers through the streets of her own city. Half a continent is choosing sides between an ancient three-faced devourer and twelve goddesses who slept three hundred years. Mark sees the faces of his dead in every mirror — and tomorrow they will crown him in the name of goddesses no one has openly worshipped for three centuries.
