Godslayer

"Godslayer" is the first installment in the "Fallen Gods" trilogy by Hannah Keiner, a captivating fantasy novel that immerses readers in a world where deities are outlawed, and mercenaries known as "weighs" are hired to eliminate them and their sacred artifacts. The story follows Kissenna, a young woman driven by vengeance after her family was destroyed by the fire goddess. She becomes a godslayer, taking on contracts to eliminate deities for money. Her journey intertwines with that of Elogast, a knight with a mysterious past, Skedi, the god of white lies, and Inara, a young girl whose fate is mysteriously linked to Skedi. Together, they embark on a perilous quest to the ruined city of Blenreiden, seeking answers that could alter the fate of their kingdom. Set in the kingdom of Midren, on the brink of civil war, the narrative delves into themes of revenge, identity, and the blurred lines between good and evil. The novel is notable for its inclusive representation, featuring a protagonist with a prosthetic leg, and is narrated from the perspectives of four distinct characters: Kissenna, Elogast, Inara, and Skedi. "Godslayer" is ideal for readers who enjoy richly woven fantasy tales with complex characters and moral dilemmas. Its compelling plot and emotional depth offer both entertainment and thought-provoking themes, making it a must-read for fantasy enthusiasts.
