Lose the weapon found again, and the world will pay the price. Lose the boy they buried once, and Drake will lose their mind. The Caranthian Mountains have finally welcomed home the last Theós; but Drake is broken and maimed, and the boy they lost fifty years ago has returned like a vengeful ghost intent on their damnation. With betrayal shadowing their every step, Drake vows to abandon their pursuit of revenge if only it means they can survive long enough to escape the frozen mountains; to return to the Sānctī. But the sea of fate parts its tide for no godling. For at the end of the road lies Tolos: the crown jewel of the Delphinusian Empire, where nothing is as it seems, and cruelty reigns. The dead roam amongst the living. Thousand-year old myths draw golden blood. The voice in Drake's head walks beside them while kingdoms stumble. Two ruinous queens blaze a path to hell. And if Drake doesn’t reckon with their reflection soon, they may just usher in the end of times. The second book of the Sins of the Divine series, Bind You by Blood delves into the pursuit of justice against all reason, the marks we leave on those we love the most, and the ghosts whose footsteps we follow.
