Carolyn was once an ordinary American girl. Now she’s something else entirely. Raised alongside her adopted siblings by the man they call Father, she’s spent years locked inside a Library that holds the secrets of creation itself. There, she’s studied rituals, languages, and powers that make her more than human—and maybe less.
Now Father has vanished. Maybe he’s dead. Maybe he isn’t. Either way, the Library and its terrible power stand unguarded, and Carolyn intends to claim it. She isn’t the only one with a plan, and the beings aligned against her could crush her without blinking.
But Carolyn is patient. Calculating. Dangerous. In the coming war to decide who becomes God, she has prepared for everything—except remembering what it means to be human.

About the book
"A perfect military fantasy: brutal, complex, human and impossible to put down." - Tasha Suri, author of Empire of Sand
In an epic fantasy unlike any other, two women clash in a world full of rebellion, espionage, and military might on the far outreaches of a crumbling desert empire.
Touraine is a soldier. Stolen as a child and raised to kill and die for the empire, her only loyalty is to her fellow conscripts. But now, her company has been sent back to her homeland to stop a rebellion, and the ties of blood may be stronger than she thought.
Luca needs a turncoat. Someone desperate enough to tiptoe the bayonet's edge between treason and orders. Someone who can sway the rebels toward peace, while Luca focuses on what really matters: getting her uncle off her throne.
Through assassinations and massacres, in bedrooms and war rooms, Touraine and Luca will haggle over the price of a nation. But some things aren't for sale.

The planet Erna was meant to be humanity’s new home. Instead, it became a nightmare.
