'A perfect blend of epic and 'gritty' fantasy' Mithril Wisdom on Smiler's Fair 'A little bit grimdark, a little bit epic, and a whole lot of incredible' Staffer's Book Review on Smiler's Fair Dae Hyo is no longer a mage. Krish is no longer a god. Magic has disappeared.
But when Krish gave up his divinity, others took it - three new gods with strange and terrifying new powers.
The disappearance of the old magic has changed more than just Krish. The carrion mounts that defended the Ashane kingdom have fallen from the sky, the waterways that brought life to Ofiklanod are stilled and the runes that once bound Krish's army to him have been erased. No one remains to stand against the Three.
Weakened and scattered to distant corners of the land, Krish and his allies - and former enemies - need to find a new way to fight. But Dae Hyo is magicless, Sang Ki is enslaved and Eric has lost far more than either of them. Do they have either the strength or the will to face one final battle? Because if they want to destroy the Three, they must also destroy the first god - the original god, the one who began it all . . .

Sooooo. I had actually giving up hopes for this book. It's been like 6 years since The Sun's Devices and the author has little to none social media presence. I do remember a little talk about this book back in 2019-2020 when they did have some social media presence. But since book 3's release there's been little to no word. (though there's nothing wrong and no shaming if an author doesn't want to be on social media)
If I do get to this one I'm gonna need to reread the series because I kinda only remember what happened in the first book.
