Description
“Lost, bullied, scared. And breaker of Empires.”
The greatest Empire known to Godslost has been strong for six hundred years, outliving great men, gods and magic. But with age and size comes decay. The rot is deep in this one.
And who is charged with healing this wound? Enter Delfin, the sole surviving daughter of the Emperor. Left without a family and estranged from a father who leans on her from afar for political gain, Delfin is a sheep in a field of wolves. And the assassin is closing in too.
But what she lacks in courtly talents, she more than makes up for with an insatiable thirst for the truth. And when small victories flourish into unquestionable competence, she takes the dangerous step of defying her father and peering into the only truth she’s ever truly wanted. Why was her family killed?
But at the end of that thread is a rug, and under that rug is an Empire. The price of the truth is the illusion that sustains it all. Can she really crack it?
THE WORLD OF GODSLOST
The world of Godslost tells a tale of hidden magic – an ancient gift lost to the wisps of time. But though this gift is lost, it is not gone, and there are those who retain their obsession with lost magic and will stop at nothing to rekindle this long-lost past.
But for most in Godslost, this is little more than nonsense – futile magic confined to children's fairy tales. And yet the fight beneath the surface cannot be concealed forever, and when it erupts, it will devour those unfortunate enough to stand in the way. Eventually, that could be everyone.
