About this ebook
Two fated lovers are forced apart by a war between the gods in the epic conclusion to Katie Shepard’s USA Today bestseller The Younger Gods.
Previously dispatched by the gods to eliminate Iona Night-Singer, the former priestess leading the mortal rebellion, Taran instead fell in love with the little singer and turned his loyalties against the cruel gods’ rule. Embracing his divine power to break ancient laws and oaths, he has cracked the foundations of the immortal world to aid Iona’s struggle for mortal freedom…and shattered her understanding of the man she once loved and lost.
In the aftermath of their defiance, Taran and Iona find the Summerlands rotting and crumbling around their feet as the vengeful god Death escalates his campaign of destruction against the dwindling, corrupt pantheon whose defense Taran is now responsible for. By choosing to marry an immortal instead of leading the fight against the dead who have begun to rampage free of Death’s control, Iona fears that she is slowly abandoning every principle that led her to rebel, while Taran would let the divine world collapse back into the sea before risking Iona’s fragile mortal life in battle. In the end, he doesn’t have a choice; Iona becomes a willing hostage to Death in his Underworld citadel, leaving Taran to continue her war alone.
But if there’s one thing neither will sacrifice, it is their love. And Taran and Iona will do everything in their power to find their way back to each other again.
