Publisher Description
Experience the pulse-pounding conclusion to the Fall of the Gods: sea battles, hidden libraries, warring deities, old enemies, and one woman's need for liberation and revenge.
When her quest to destroy the Gods began, Buc was a child of the streets. Now she is a woman of steel, shaped by power lost and gained, honed to a fine edge by grief and a thirst for vengeance.
When a perilous mission uncovers intel key to the destruction of the Dead Gods and the sleeping Goddess Ciris, Buc knows this might be her last chance to put a stop to this divine war…for good this time. With a part of Ciris still living inside her, tempting Buc with power, things are about to get a lot more complicated. Sure, she could wake Ciris and help her annihilate the Dead Gods–but it would mean the betrayal of everything and everyone she has fought for–and nothing can bring back man she loved.
If Buc has to destroy every last God, eat the rich, and break the world in order to save it, she will. Even if it costs her everything.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The satisfying conclusion to Van Loan's Fall of the Gods trilogy (after The Justice in Revenge) sends its protagonists into a hopeless battle against impossible odds without ever losing sight of the more human elements. Months after street rat turned adventurer Sambuciña "Buc" Alhurra fell out with her partner, Eld, she continues her quest to free humanity from its invisible chains of servitude to the Gods. Having sparked an open war between the Sin Eaters of the goddess Ciris and the mages of the Dead Gods, and armed with the fragment of Sin lurking in her own mind, Buc's plans march toward fruition. Then she discovers the Dead Gods' scheme to unleash a plague upon the world, which will tip the scales in the Dead Gods' favor and devastate society. Now Buc must rally a ragtag band of unlikely allies and former foes to save the world by destroying the Gods once and for all. The worldbuilding is as expansive as ever, but Van Loan grounds the epic adventure in Buc's emotional growth as she gathers her friends and found family around her. Messy, bloody, and complex, this offers some serious payoff for both the characters and the reader.
