Ending the war will not restore what was lost. It will only determine who will live with what remains.
The war for Tellus has entered its final phase. As Lyanna Tempestas and Cassius Corvus lead the Revolution through its most decisive battles and drive toward a final confrontation with the king, the cost of that progress becomes impossible to ignore.
Lyanna Tempestas and Cassius Corvus cannot win the war without the gods, but the pacts that make victory possible are beginning to unravel them. Each battle pushes Lyanna closer to losing herself, her mind, and the people she cares about most. To end the war, Cassius must face the god who stands in his way while trying to protect his wife from the consequences of everything he has set in motion. The closer they come to ending the war, the more it threatens to end them.
For readers of The War of Lost Hearts by Carissa Broadbent and The Broken Earth Trilogy by N. K. Jemisin, Into the Flood is a psychologically driven continuation of the Gods of Tellus series that examines what it takes to win a war and what it costs to survive it.
Civil war ravages the kingdom of Tellus, with gods waging battle among mortals as a fledgling revolution struggles to hold fractured lands together.
At the center stands Lyanna Tempestas. After successfully aiding the Earth Mother and dealing a monumental blow to the crown in the process, Lyanna finds herself imprisoned by the king she defied. Cut off from her allies and subject to the volatile whims of the goddess she gave everything to save, Lyanna struggles to keep herself alive. Across the continent, Lord Cassius Coronis wages a brutal campaign to free her, entering into an alliance with the King of the Gods with devastating consequences.
For Lyanna and Cassius, securing her freedom is only the beginning. As rival revolutionary factions turn on each other and dangerous secrets rise to the surface, they both must decide what they are willing to sacrifice—not just to win the war, but to rebuild the kingdom.
Perfect for fans of The Dragon Republic and The Broken Earth Trilogy, Rain Witch is a sweeping romantasy that explores the psychological, political, environmental, and romantic fallout of the choices we make in service of revolution.
The natural world is unraveling as the tyrant king of Tellus drains the Earth Mother’s magic for his own political gain.
Lady Lyanna Tempestas is fated to rule the Stormlands—until the night she commits a desperate act of violence, only to discover the half-eaten Earth Mother. Vowing to stop the king, no matter the cost, Lyanna takes refuge in the Sunlands, the kingdom’s most prosperous court.
Under the protection of the powerful Coronis family, Lyanna secretly works with the Resistance to overthrow the king. As she grows closer to the scholarly and vengeful Cassius Coronis—rumored to wield blood magic—Lyanna is drawn into a tangled web of revolution, divine power, and forbidden love. To save a dying world, she must decide how much of herself she’s willing to sacrifice.
A Raven in the Storm is an epic fantasy debut featuring a complex magic system, a sharp-minded and emotionally-scarred heroine, and a slow-burn romance set against ecological collapse and class revolution.
