If he triumphs, evil and darkness may disappear forever… and his shame will end. If he fails, he will lose his life and soul. Every step of his quest will be perilous—in these lands, Beast’s size and appearance make him feared and hated.

Join a desperate quest for a missing god in the debut of Liturgy of Worlds, a universe-spanning series blending gritty space opera with epic fantasy. The gods have vanished. The age of starships and thinking machines is long past. In the ancient city of Ronia, center of a dying empire, a servant named Shada lives in fear and hunger. Then an enigmatic spirit offers her safety and freedom… if Shada joins a quest to find Ronia’s long-lost god, who can restore the city to its former glory. To save their people, Shada and her companions will journey to the ends of the universe. But first, they must escape Ronia alive. Many in this city of blades, poison, and shadow mean to prevent the god’s return at all costs. If Shada’s mission fails, her world will fall into darkness.

Her god is missing. This world wants her dead. Once a servant in the crumbling empire of Ronia, Shada has joined a ragtag band of soldiers on a quest that will take them across worlds. They must find the long-lost goddess who will save their kingdom from war and decay–or die in the attempt. A savage new realm awaits. Shada’s company faces a perilous march through a bloodthirsty, beautiful wilderness where even the trees can kill. But the shadows of this forest hide worse. Secrets that will turn friends to enemies. Secrets some will kill to hide. Meanwhile, a terrifying new power is rising in the universe, and Shada's greatest ally could be her direst foe. Hymns of the Wild is the second novel of the Liturgy of Worlds epic fantasy series.

A realm of illusions. An empire of darkness. The once-mighty city of Ronia crumbles toward an abyss. Beset by enemies from without and upheaval within, its people are nearing despair. Worst of all, the goddess who once protected them vanished long ago. But hope remains. Shada, once a downtrodden servant, is determined to find Ronia’s goddess and bring her home to save her people. The journey has taken Shada and her companions to worlds wild and unknown. When they enter the strangest realm yet–a tower so large that an entire kingdom dwells inside–discord and mutiny threaten to rend the company. A mysterious captor imprisons Shada, and her only hope may lie in utter surrender. But a new threat eclipses all else. In the shadows of this chaotic domain, the Ronians find an enemy so chilling that it jeopardizes the very meaning of their lives.
