Faithbreaker - A Novel

In the epic finale to the #1 internationally bestselling Fallen Gods trilogy that started with Godkiller, the fate of Middren hangs in the balance as mighty gods and mortal heroes clash in a final battle for supremacy.

War has come. The fire god Hseth is leading an unstoppable army south, consuming everything in her path. Middren's only hope of survival is to unify allies and old foes against a common enemy.

Elo navigates an uneasy alliance with Arren-his friend, his enemy, and his king. Now they each must decide how much they're willing to sacrifice to turn the tides of war.

Meanwhile, Inara joins her mother on their ship, the Silverswift, to seek aid. Still grappling with her powers, Inara must reconcile who she is and where she belongs, while Skediceth has to question if their bond will be enough to keep them safe.

Kissen has no allegiance to the old ways of Middren. But, as she tries to find her family, she is forced to question what, and whose, future she is fighting for.

In Faithbreaker, Hannah Kaner delivers a powerful conclusion to the Fallen Gods trilogy, masterfully weaving together love and sacrifice, loyalty and betrayal, and the true meaning of faith.

Rezension:

"Kaner expertly sticks the landing in her page-turning conclusion to the Fallen Gods trilogy ... Kaner masterfully manipulates the plot's many moving pieces, braiding pulse-pounding action, unpredictable twists, and quiet character beats into a poignant tale of love, sacrifice, and hope. It's an impressive feat." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"A richly rendered world . . . Kaner writes action that's both fun and intelligible-no mean feat-while keeping the story moving forward nicely. If The Last of Us didn't slake your thirst for stories of a grizzled fighter taking a tough kid on the road, then Godkiller should be your jam." - Washington Post

"An epic fantasy odyssey begins ... Kaner's debut is incredibly inclusive with LGBTQ and disabled characters filling its pages. It delivers high action while centering on characters that are not often depicted this fully." - Entertainment Weekly on Godkiller

"A fresh and confident debut, Godkiller will have yo u in its grasp from the first pages. Led by a cast of spirited characters, it leaps and bounds to the beat of its own golden heart, building to an epic clash of wills. Hannah Kaner has taken her first great strides in what is sure to be an extraordinary journey." - Samantha Shannon, New York Times bestselling author of The Priory of the Orange Tree

"Holy heck, this book is so good. A disabled bisexual mercenary heroine who murders gods, a former soldier turned baker with a troubled past, a noble child linked to the god of white lies . . . You need this story in your life!"
- Katee Robert, New York Times bestselling author of the Dark Olympus series

"In addition to being exquisitely paced and character-driven, Kaner's novel features a widely diverse cast. Queerness does not draw ridicule in Kaner's invented world. . . . Both heroes and two secondary characters have disabilities; he's living with PTSD, while she's an amputee. . . . An un-put-down-able start to an engrossing low-fantasy trilogy bordering on grimdark." - Kirkus (starred review) on Godkiller

"Epic and intimate, tender and sharp, Godkiller is a triumph of storytelling and the beginning of a story that I can't wait to follow." - Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf

"Violent, bawdy, beautifully imagined, and intensely felt, Godkiller is a bone-rattling fantasy thriller that flies by in a breathtaking rush." - Joe Hill, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fireman
