From the ruins of Freya's temple, a new era of gods have risen. Carrying the power of those who came before them, they're tasked with doing what their predecessors could not - protecting the realm from the time beings who want to see it destroyed. It's an impossible task that leaves them with no room for failure. But when their greatest enemy offers to become their ally, offering up Freya's darkest secrets in exchange for their trust, Brandi begins to question who it is they should be protecting the realm from - the time beings or the gods? Weighed down with more questions than answers, Brandi chooses the path of greatest destruction. She'll lead the rebellion against the queendom, have Sarah bid for the throne, and escort Adam Bertanal to the gods herself. And anyone who defies her will learn what it means to face the true wrath of a god.

C. M. Lockhart (also known as Chelsea) is a Black writer of fantasy because she loves creating worlds, exploring relationships, and writing stories about Black girls who aren't all that nice. She is the founder of Written in Melanin LLC—which encompasses a weekly podcast and YouTube channel of the same name—and the Melanin Library, an online database of books written by Black authors. She is also a lover of video games and anime, so whenever she isn't reading and writing—or talking about reading and writing—she's watching anime, playing her Switch, and dreaming about the day her books get animated.
