“Lost Gods is fresh, fierce, and lush with inspiration from the lands and mythology of ancient Africa and the Middle East.”
– Cameron Johnston, author of The Traitor God
When the gods return to claim their world, the Five Realms will fall, in this earth-shaking epic fantasy thriller following on from the author’s seminal debut, Lost Gods
File Under: Fantasy [ Monsters and Men | False Myths | Priest-Killers | Unravelling Truth ]
Description
The Sovereignty has been at peace for three centuries, but now the war to end all wars has finally come. The border cities of the Reach are destroyed, others are falling rapidly, and a nameless force lays waste in the north. When Neythan and his friends are led to the Summerlands in search of answers, he is unexpectedly confronted with secrets from his forgotten childhood, long buried beneath past trauma, and linked to the ancient scroll he has always carried. As the mysterious invasion continues, and the supernatural forces responsible are revealed, Neythan must learn the truth that lies in his blood… before it is too late.
Micah Yongo is the author of two ancient Africa-inspired epic fantasy novels. His debut, Lost Gods, was shortlisted for Starburst Magazine’s inaugural Brave New Words award, as well as a British Fantasy Award. When he's not writing he can be found lamenting the often rainy weather in his beloved hometown of Manchester, or hammering away at his day job in content design.
“Ringing follow-up to 2018’s Lost Gods… Yongo is building an increasingly strong fantasy story in which tiny details assemble into fascinating mysteries.”
– Publishers Weekly
“A richly imagined adventure inspired by African folklore and mythology”
– B&N Sci Fi & Fantasy Blog
