The Godsblood Tragedy
Passage One of the Divine Godsqueen Coda
An orphan, without a trueborn name, returns to the city of her birth to uncover her past. Hounded by the servants of the Dark God and dying from the poisonous mist that covers the land, her path leads to one of the magical seals protecting the holy ruin of Eminence.
A father, murdered and reborn, aims to bring down the floating fortress hovering over his homeland. Burdened by loss, he’s willing to sacrifice his soul to free his city and get revenge for the destruction of his family.
A mother, captured and bonded to a daemon, kills in the name of the Dark God so she can free her tortured daughter. Relentless in her vengeance, she hunts the one person who could end her suffering, the man who would destroy her vile master.
A drake, the banished hatchling of a failed advisor, seeks his father’s stolen horns. Untested, he desires to right his father’s wrongs in the eyes of the gods and restore his family’s honor.
As all converge in the occupied desert city where the world’s fuel source is mined, one family’s bond will be tested. Old betrayals will resurface, anger and resentment will flourish, but one thing remains clear: blood rules all.
Editorial Reviews for The Godsblood Tragedy:
“This is a series I’m completely here in the long run for. Bill Adams has created something incredibly special and I want everything from the Mistlands injected into my DNA from here on. It is a rare piece of work that I’m glad to have given a chance because now I will not be able to get enough of this.” — Graham Blades, The Wulver’s Library
“To start, the story itself is one that’s fully original and treads on new ground. The worldbuilding as well, it felt like I was fully engulfed in the pages and walking around with the characters.” — Pete Reviews Books Good
“Too often we rush into books without giving them the chance to breathe. The meticulous work Adams did with the setting and story structure pays dividends in the end, but only if we let it. So take it in as it comes. Explore the decrepit streets of Drenth. Wonder at the true identity of the “Gutter King.” Let the interesting worldbuilding and lore envelop you as we go from blood bath to literal bloodbath.” — Michael Roberti, FanFiAddict
