Magic and sacrifice intertwine as lovers and gods, enemies and allies, battle for the fate of the world in this thrilling sequel to The Gods’ Isles.

When Selly and Leander set out on the perilous journey to the Gods’ Isles, the captain’s daughter and the philandering prince were complete strangers. But amid talk of war and a deadly attack on their vessel, the unthinkable happened.

They fell in love.

Leander’s ritual at the island temple was meant to prevent a war between the gods. Instead, it nearly cost him his life and brought back the goddess Barrica from her exile. Now, as her Messenger, the goddess’s deadly magic flows through Leander’s veins, and only Selly can keep that power from consuming him.

Barrica wasn’t the only immortal to awaken from her slumber, however. A foe left for dead awakened the god of risk, Macean, and now she calls for war across the seas.

Their fight to save the world will take Selly and Leander from the golden glow of the royal palace ballroom to the hallowed halls of an ancient library. Battle lines will be drawn and alliances broken.

With the wrath of the gods and the plots of power-hungry rulers testing their loyalties, can their love withstand the trials that await them?
