About this audiobook
Featuring a full ensemble cast, immersive character performances, and cinematic storytelling, this audiobook edition brings the world of the Abandoned Gods vividly to life
Narrated by: June deBorahae, Keeley Darling, James Cassidy, Edward Black, Benjamin Sands, and Troy Duran
She wakes bound on the back of a horse.
The gods are gone.
And the world is no longer gentle.
Tsunala is carried through a land that no longer remembers mercy—guarded by monsters, watched by a half-breed who should be her enemy, and pulled toward truths she is not ready to name. Power lingers beneath her skin, unclaimed and dangerous.
As desire stirs where fear should live, something ancient begins to breathe again. The gods, long silent, are waking—not as legends, but as beings who can bleed, ache, and love.
This is a story about what happens when divinity remembers its humanity.
And what it means to belong to a world that no longer believes in you.
--
A note on the world: The Abandoned Gods series deliberately moves between older and modern conventions in its language, dialogue, clothing, and worldbuilding. The dissonance is intentional, with its significance unfolding across the series.
And when it comes to love, the gods have little interest in human binaries around gender and attraction. They know only that who you love can be weaponized against you—and perhaps that's all the more reason to find our way back to a world where love is simply love.
For readers drawn to dark romantasy rooted in character, devotion and emotional intensity. Fast-burn spice and feels. Slow-burn real love. Morally complex characters, and a fantasy world whose mysteries unfold across the series.
