With the death of the Bannerman, Hurona's war against the German Imperium can only escalate. Her holy children are scattered, and her armies are weakened, but her enemies have learned a valuable lesson... She will not retreat. Follow this second part of the Dead Gods trilogy as we explore the darker underpinnings of Hurona's apocalyptic war and the vicious lengths she will go to in order to fulfill her prophecy of blood. Read along as her holy children struggle against the mechanisms of their fate and the limits of their morality. Chapters will release 3x per week on Wed, Fri, Sat - starting on 4/18. What you will find: Elements of classic science fiction mixed with traditional fantasy Tragic villains and cursed heroes What you will not find: LitRPG/Gamelit (though I love DCC as much as the next person, it's just not how I write) Progression Fantasy A Sanderson-esq magic system (Mistborn is a great read, but I prefer a more amorphous system of Godly power) Sequel to The Bannerman (https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/155524/dead-gods-part-i-the-bannerman)
