Deathsbane - Paperback

by Lindsey Richardson (Author)

A story of rebellion, bargains, and a love so forbidden the consequences will echo across the realms.

To the gods of the Golden Pantheon, the Goddess of Light is sunshine personified, but Selene secretly yearns for something deeper. The blank canvas of eternal darkness, and the Dark God who rules it, have long tempted her, and even the brightest of the gods can't ignore the darkness that simmers under her surface.

Haunted by a life-altering bargain he made as a child, the Dark God of Death would be content to stay in the Under Realm and away from the gods entirely if it wasn't for the glimmering goddess that keeps drawing him to their realm. And like all forbidden things, resisting her grows more difficult by the year.

Isn't it always what we love that kills us?

When the gods gather to celebrate the birth of their prince, they quickly discover just how far the king will go to ensure he's the only god they bow to, forcing Selene, Death, and the gods of the Golden Pantheon to take sides in a rebellion that's been brewing for years. Truths are uncovered, bargains are made, and prophecies are foretold. In a world where nothing seems certain anymore, one thing remains true: fate has cruel plans for them all.

Deathsbane is a prequel novella set in the Godsbane universe and is intended to be read second. This novella contains spoilers for Godsbane.
