A Goddess Rises… The goddess Maja is alive, thanks to Adina’s grandfather Sujani, and her existence is pulling the world out of balance. Between floods, plagues and wildfires, the realm is heading straight for another Cataclysm. It’s up to Adina to prevent it. Or die trying. A blade forged in secret… Only the Bone Shard Blade can kill a goddess, but Sujani’s not giving his up. To forge another, Adina must find the bones of a twelve-hundred-year-old dragon and a mystical energy source strong enough to wield divine magic. Sujani’s rival, Damon, could provide the magical power boost, but allying with him means trusting him when he’s already tried to murder her once. Kill the goddess, save the world… Adina must untangle Damon and Sujani’s schemes if she has any hope of making it through this with her un-life intact. With some allies and unexpected help, the realm might just have a chance. But she will need to use every trick in her arsenal to survive, obliterate Maja, and save the world. Goddess of Blood and Shadows is the thrilling conclusion to The Vampire Assassin Chronicles.
