Younger Gods

Iona Night-Singer thought she'd overthrown the gods. Her mortal rebellion eked out a painful victory by using the gods' own powers against them - though she lost her betrothed, Taran, in a final battle with the god of death. Months later, the war doesn't feel over. Not with Taran gone. Especially not when the gods still answer the prayers she sings. Angry, grieving, and with a gnawing dread that the gods will return, Iona strikes a deal with her former patron goddess: if Iona can convince Taran to follow her home from the Underworld, he'll be free to live again. If she fails, they'll both be trapped there forever. No sooner does she find him, she makes a horrible discovery. The dead gods have been reborn, they are plotting revenge - and Taran, it seems, was always one of them. This reincarnated trickster god with Taran's face no longer remembers her or the war they fought together, and she doubts not just his loyalties but his love. Determined to stop the next war without revealing her part in the last one, Iona enters her deadliest battle yet, one where she fights to bring Taran home without him even knowing it.
