The Prophecy of Blood draws near. Death and war have ravaged the galaxy and the Goddess Hurona demands more. She demands the end of all life. She demands apocalypse. Follow Part III of the Dead God's Trilogy as Hurona's Collector returns from the lands of Death to wage her mortal war against the forces of Germania. Chapters will release 2x per week on Wed, Sat. What you will find: Elements of science fiction mixed with traditional fantasy Tragic villains and cursed heroes Blood and war 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). I'm a big soft magic system kind of person. Sequel to The Bannerman (Part I) (https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/155524/dead-gods-part-i-the-bannerman) and to The La'Anatula (Part II) (https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/162546/dead-gods-part-ii-the-laanatula)
