The Risen God: Book 1 of The Tithes of War
Valden Emit is an exile.
He and his people have been banished from their homeland by their Gods. When they reach Desyatina, they discover the power of their lost ancestors. Can they handle the temptations it brings, or shall they repeat the failure of their Gods?
Illiak Barsin is in trouble.
She has lost command of her crew of raiders, the Black Skulls, to their mad priestess Naiman and her new, merciless god, who has the whole land in their sights. Illiak must regain control of her Black Skulls, but is she willing to pay the price to get it back?
Phocas is a mage and a prisoner.
The little mage let her fantasies of revenge get away from her and now she is a prisoner of the Southern Giants, forced to use her powers at their whim. If she could get free, perhaps they would not only be dreams of revenge?
Machreach is a drunk.
The veteran commander of the southern Giant's army drinks to keep the visions at bay. They compete with the ghosts of his own past to drive him either mad or to his grave. He must find the point of balance - the calm in the eye of the storm - in his life, before he and the land of Desyatina are both devoured by darkness.The Risen God is the first book in The Tithes of War; a gripping epic fantasy series that immerses you in a richly woven tale of dark powers, mysterious visions, magic, and an ancient evil that emerges from the shadows to weave a dangerous web around them all…

So I stepped out of my comfort zone with my latest read! I usually stick to crime or romance, but I decided to give my husband's new fantasy book a try—and I’m so glad I did! It’s not my usual genre, but I found myself getting pulled into the world and turning pages to see where the adventure would lead next.
I’ll admit, I got a little confused at times with all the characters (there were quite a few!), but it didn’t stop me from enjoying the ride. I’m already looking forward to reading book 2!
I'm super proud of my hubby for creating such an imaginative story.
