----
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.
For readers drawn to dark romantasy rooted in character, devotion, and emotional intensity—this is the beginning of the Abandoned Gods series.
A Note From the Publisher
The novel contains violence, attempted sexual assault (on-page), trauma, references to slavery and sexual exploitation, emotional manipulation, religious and cult-like control, psychological distress, and consensual open-door sexual content.
The attempted sexual assault occurs within the opening chapters and, while emotionally intense, does not depict completed sexual violence.
