Cassi needed to prove to herself that she had what it took to be a goddess, and there was no better proving ground than a world truly on the brink.
Cassi selected her Thistle, an oppositional orphan from the lower caste, and Wynn, heir to the throne. The two young women were on a collision course but shared one thing... They were both dying.
It was fitting, Cassi thought, to have selected these women as this world was only the beginning. Ultimately, her war was with death itself.
In this wonderful sequel to Gaia Wept Me Lindsay examines various versions of the afterlife proposed here on Earth and displays solid reasoning in rejecting all of them. Although this is what impressed me most about this tale of is by no means the only reason for reading it. It has romance, mystery, action, excitement and adventure and keeps the reader enthralled from start to finish. This is up there with the finest books I have ever read.
