Reeks: Gods and Empires
R. R. Egal
- An
- empire
- on
- the
- brink.An
- unimaginable
- betrayal.And
- one
- girl
- who
- has
- to
- hold
- it
- all
- together.Empress
- Neferet
- is
- no
- stranger
- to
- the
- weight
- of
- a
- crown
- nor
- the
- responsibility
- that
- comes
- with
- it.
- Secretly,
- she
- hunts
- her
- beloved
- father's
- murderer,
- seeking
- justice
- for
- his
- brutal
- death
- as
- unprecedented
- natural
- disasters
- are
- spreading
- fast
- across
- her
- lands.Once
- she
- discovers
- the
- assassin
- was
- none
- other
- than
- her
- closest
- ally,
- the
- Dominus
- of
- Theron,
- fury
- drives
- her
- to
- cross
- the
- borders
- of
- his
- kingdom
- to
- seek
- revenge
- with
- the
- blessing
- of
- the
- gods.
- However,
- once
- Neferet
- crosses
- paths
- with
- Dante,
- the
- Dominus's
- son,
- they
- uncover
- a
- conspiracy
- that
- shakes
- her
- deepest
- convictions
- and
- suggests
- that
- the
- disasters
- ravaging
- her
- empire
- weren't
- so
- natural
- after
- all.As
- more
- gods
- descend
- with
- cryptic
- and
- conflicting
- messages,
- Neferet's
- faith
- is
- thrown
- into
- turmoil
- and
- she
- finds
- herself
- with
- more
- questions
- than
- answers.
- War
- looms
- on
- the
- horizon,
- so
- she
- and
- Dante
- must
- piece
- together
- the
- conspirators'
- plans—and
- the
- gods'
- true
- intentions—to
- stop
- them
- before
- her
- empire
- collapses.As
- their
- nations
- teeter
- on
- the
- brink,
- Neferet
- and
- Dante
- find
- themselves
- racing
- against
- forces
- beyond
- their
- comprehension.
- But
- with
- divine
- agendas
- at
- play,
- can
- they
- untangle
- the
- gods'
- motives
- in
- time
- to
- save
- an
- empire
- on
- the
- edge
- of
- ruin?
- Or
- will
- they
- become
- pawns
- in
- a
- game
- that
- ends
- with
- their
- world
- in ashes?
