Warmongers

A heart-wrenching epic fantasy set in a kingdom in a cycle of eternal war, where two women—once lovers-in-arms—are set on a collision course when years after their separation, one is crowned king and the other vows to kill her.

Once one of the brightest stars of Syon’s elite military, Shushvir jo Oiv now bears the brand of a deserter across her face. Exiled and shunned, a deserter's only route to survival in the city is to hide in the shadows and beg for scraps. After losing her life and everyone she loves, she knows who to blame—the god of War’s new avatar, none other than Shushvir’s old lover and rival.

After a decade of exile, Shushvir has come home with one plan: destroy the woman who destroyed her and ruin the country that maimed her, shamed her, and drove her from its glory. But first, she has to resurrect the god of Death: it will take a god to kill a God-King.

The wages of war are death and Shushvir means to pay them.
