THE BRANDISHED STARS: CHILDREN OF GODS

When the gods call your name, you know better than to answer. The land of Milornia has known two things since its creation. The faeries were dangerous, and the gods were unjust. Valerie Denisera has watched her mother slaughter thousands of sorcerers in an attempt to avenge her dead husband. The Queen of Cyneria was the only monster Valerie knew. Until an assassination leaves Valerie with the crown and the titles as a murderer's daughter. The wall that separates the Faeries from the mortals is slowly becoming useless, as reports of more invasions reach the halls of the Cynerian palace. Valerie assumed the threat of war would be her only worry, and yet, to her advisors, all her attempts at peace are naive. Conduits are rare. Chosen by the gods to live out their will in Milornia. Valerie would never have expected the Goddess of Death, Morana, to call her name. Burdened with the crown and the power of death herself, Valerie knows she has no one to turn to. Until a young man stumbles into her life, claiming he knows more about her than she has ever told anyone. As war threatens the horizon and the gods grow tired, Valerie must conceal her newfound identity and guard her heart. Because losing either will spell out death.
