For sixty-three generations, the Church of Aurion has spoken the words of its First God in a tongue no living mouth still understands. Faith, they call it. Its emblem is a mouth sewn shut - and there is a reason for that.
Aysa Tor Mirenne is the Church's sharpest inquisitor: convent-raised, devout, and damned by a single gift. She reads too well. In a text she was never meant to open, she finds the truth buried beneath ash and silence - the gods did not ascend. They fell. And what they left sleeping beneath the world has begun to stir.
Now crown, holy city, and the war-realm of Markhold will all burn to keep that silence - or to seize what wakes below it. What the Church buried was not a heresy. It was a body. And bodies, given long enough, remember how to breathe.
The Ash of the Gods is the opening movement of THE LAST GODS - a ten-book epic dark-fantasy saga of faith and power, ash and revelation.
Perfect for readers of George R. R. Martin, Steven Erikson, Joe Abercrombie, and R. Scott Bakker.
- A morally complex heroine in a faith built on a language no one can read
- A richly mapped half-continent of river-kingdoms, fortress-realms, and holy cities
- Slow-burning dread, hard politics, and a secret older than the gods
- Book One of a complete, planned ten-volume saga
Some truths were buried for a reason. Turn the first page and find out why.
