Hopebringer

Pantheon #6

by Daniel McKay

War is upon us. The grief-worshipping Ingathinians have attacked. Thousands are dead, and Valvezia can't strike back while the Ingathinians hold the ultimate the Inescapable Doom.

There's only one counter to the Inescapable Doom, and only one person in a position to use it. So Ciara is sent on a secret mission to free the god of hope from the prison island of Pandora. If she succeeds, she could complete her divine coalition and turn the tide of the war.

But there's a traitor in the Valvezian court, and Ciara's secret mission won't stay secret for long. With the fate of nations at stake, Ciara's up against threats greater than any she's faced before. If she uses every resource and Blessing at her disposal, perhaps she can survive, but it's not just her life on the line.

About the author

Daniel McKay lives in New Zealand where he spends his time writing, teaching philosophy, and playing cards. He writes the Philosophical Detective series, which combines his love for philosophy with his love for sarcasm, and the Pantheon series, which combines his love for interesting magic powers with his love for awesome fight scenes.

P.S. The Augmentamancer Chronicles books are currently out of print on account of them being a bit amateurish but I am working my way back through them with a metaphorical red pen and they are slowly being rereleased. Books 1, 2, and 3 are back and the second editions have brand new (way cooler) cover art.
