Book 2 of the Fallen Gods series

Return to the world of Godkiller in this thrilling sequel to the #1 internationally bestselling fantasy debut. When Middren falls to the gods, your kind will be the first to die.

Gods are forbidden in the kingdom of Middren - but now they are stirring, whispering of war. Godkiller Kissen sacrificed herself to vanquish the fire god Hseth, who murdered her family and endangered her friends. But gods cannot be destroyed so easily, and Hseth's power threatens to reform with even greater strength and a thirst for vengeance. As tensions rise throughout the land, the kingdom needs its Godkiller more than ever.

Still reeling from the loss of Kissen, young noble Inara and her little god of white lies, Skedi, have set out to discover more about the true nature of their bond. As the divide between gods and humans widens, Inara and Skedi will uncover secrets that could determine the fate of the war to come. The truth about Inara's parentage and her connection to Skedi threatens to change everything she thought she knew about herself.

Meanwhile, Elogast, no longer a loyal knight of King Arren, has been tasked with killing the man he once called friend. The king vowed to eradicate all gods throughout the land, but has now entered into an unholy pact with the most dangerous of them all. And where his heart once beat, a god now burns. As rebellion rises in Lesscia and alliances are tested, Elo must choose between loyalty and survival.

Presumed dead, Kissen fights her way back from the shores of a sea god, only to discover that Hseth plans to invade Middren with an army that will convert all lands to her doctrine. One simple rule haunts her: dead gods can always come back. Tested alliances fuel this tightly plotted found-family thrill ride. The worldbuilding is complex, but the reader never feels bogged down beneath its weight.

Elle praised the series: "Brilliant mythology-inspired world-building paves the foundation for Kaner's fantasy adventure, but it's the fully realized ensemble cast that, ultimately, makes the series so memorable." Sunbringer deepens the exploration of faith, power, and what happens when gods refuse to stay dead. With political intrigue intensifying and characters facing impossible choices, this sequel builds toward the epic conclusion.

Perfect for readers seeking character-driven fantasy, political rebellion, diverse representation, the cost of godhood, and middle volumes that raise the stakes while expanding the world and mythology established in the stunning debut.
