Nadya doesn’t trust her magic anymore. Serefin is fighting off a voice in his head that doesn’t belong to him. Malachiasz is at war with who—and what—he’s become.

As their group is continually torn apart, the girl, the prince, and the monster find their fates irrevocably intertwined. Their paths are being orchestrated by someone . . . or something. The voices that Serefin hears in the darkness, the ones that Nadya believes are her gods, the ones that Malachiasz is desperate to meet—those voices want a stake in the world, and they refuse to stay quiet any longer.

In their dramatic follow-up to Wicked Saints, the first book in their Something Dark and Holy trilogy, Emily A. Duncan paints a Gothic, icy world where shadows whisper, and no one is who they seem, with a shocking ending that will leave you breathless.

Praise for Ruthless Gods

"If you liked Wicked Saints and you want more of everything, the sequel Ruthless Gods takes the monstrous romance to whole new . . . heights. Get ready."Book Riot

"Ruthless Gods is every bit the sequel that Emily A. Duncan's chilling Wicked Saints deserveseven darker, bloodier and even more complicated . . . A dark, brutal and deeply thrilling sequel that will leave you wanting more."Culturess

"After the glimmers of divinity and magic in Wicked Saints, Ruthless Gods opens the door to a world of fallen gods and eldritch horrors and I am absolutely ready to step through it. Gruesome, grotesque, and so, so glorious."Erin A. Craig, The New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows

"Come for the Gothic horror-fantasy, stay for the eldritch nightmares, cosmic despair, and irreverent, unforgettable characters. Ruthless Gods will leave fans demanding the final installment in the trilogy."Christine Lynn Herman, author of The Devouring Gray

"Magic and romance steeped in blood and betrayal . . . fans of the first volume will be pleased to have more of the same, with higher stakes and increasingly complicated questions of power and divinity."Kirkus Reviews
