A young woman cursed by a god and cast out by all must find the strength to survive—if only for revenge—in the third installment of this fantasy adventure.

Odessa Kusa never wanted this life. Fatally injured during a vain attempt to hunt and kill a god, her father saved her with accursed blood—thus dooming her to exile, marked by the gods and carrying a lethal arm of metal and fire.

A hunted woman once more, Odessa now survives by slaughter, driven by grief, pain, and near madness. Living like an animal in the wild, only her devoted fairy companion, Poko, remains by her side as she slowly gives in to her more brutal nature. Then, just as redemption seems impossible, the chance for it appears in the shape of an enemy: specifically, a devil.

Khara is the mother of some of the dreaded Sak-Tor's finest warriors, and she has had enough of his depredations. A sisterhood of devil women have rebelled and want their former master dead. Khara believes Odessa and her unique powers are the key to victory. But Odessa must first learn to control her overwhelming rage—and trust her former foes—if she is to defeat Sak-Tor . . . and live to face the dark gods themselves.

The third volume of the hit epic-fantasy series—originally released on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!
