Bigger, older powers slumber beneath the surface of her world. Thrust into a battle between the gods of the Old World and the New, Hessa realizes there is far more on the line than securing a life beyond her own death. Soon Hessa’s trust in her goddess weakens with every unheeded prayer. But her journey reveals a harrowing truth: the gods are dying and the High Halls of the afterlife are fading. As clans from the north and legionaries from the south tear through her homeland, slaughtering everyone in their path, Hessa strives to win back her goddess’ favour.īeset by zealot soldiers, deceitful gods, and newly-awakened demons at every turn, Hessa burns her path towards redemption and revenge. Grieving and alone, Hessa – the last Eangi – must find the traveller, atone for her weakness and secure her place with her loved ones in the High Halls. While she is gone, raiders raze her village and obliterate the Eangi priesthood.

Hessa is an Eangi: a warrior priestess of the Goddess of War, with the power to turn an enemy’s bones to dust with a scream. Keep reading this book review to find out what I thought!
