Synopsis

The epic sword-and-sorcery adventure of the Bound Gods fantasy series comes to its dark conclusion in this thrilling story of a vibrant world whose fate lies in the hands of vengeful gods and bold warriors.

The world has been plunged into darkness . . . and only the scheming priest Joros might be able to bring back the sun.

With his ragtag band of fighters—a laconic warrior, a pair of street urchins, a ruthless priestess, and an unhinged sorcerer—Joros seeks to defeat the ancient gods newly released from their long imprisonment. But the Twins have champions of their own, and powers beyond knowing . . . and the only sure thing is that they won't go down without a fight.

The fate of the world hangs in the balance as the Twins aim to enact revenge on the parents that imprisoned them, and the world that spurned them. The Long Night has begun, and the shadows hide many secrets—including that the Twins themselves may not be as powerful as they would have everyone think.

Joros and his allies must strike now—before the Twins can consolidate their power . . . and before they are allowed to shape the world in their vision.

Goodreads review by Sarah on June 01, 2023

I had high hopes for this story. I can't say that enough. I had high hopes for this story. The author fell so dang short on reaching its potential. We continue to see character arches from the second book after they were completely left out of the first, although they are slower and seem to flatline......more

Goodreads review by Price on February 07, 2021

I enjoyed the trilogy. It was a grand quest presented on a much smaller scale than most. A small group of unconnected players who come together as a result of diverse circumstances must pool their resources to destroy "The Twins". Many of the players evolve in this third work. Magic and convoluted r......more

Goodreads review by Therearenobadbooks on February 23, 2024

This is one of those that people should be talking about more. I like the characters' arc, how the end of the second is so awesome and the third satisfying. An underrating series that I keep recommending for dark fantasy readers.......more
