INSTANT #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

"An epic fantasy odyssey begins." -- Entertainment Weekly

"A richly rendered world . . . Kaner writes action that's both fun and intelligible. If The Last of Us didn't slake your thirst for stories of a grizzled fighter taking a tough kid on the road, then Godkiller should be your jam." -- Charlie Jane Anders, The Washington Post

Enter a land of gods and monsters, soldiers and mercenaries, secrets and wishes—the explosive #1 internationally bestselling epic fantasy debut in a new trilogy for fans of The Witcher and Gideon the Ninth

Gods are forbidden in the kingdom of Middren. Formed by human desires and fed by their worship, there are countless gods in the world—but after a great war, the new king outlawed them and now pays "godkillers" to destroy any who try to rise from the shadows.

As a child, Kissen saw her family murdered by a fire god. Now, this morally grey hero makes a living killing them and enjoys it. But all this changes when Kissen is tasked with helping a young noble girl with a god problem. The child's soul is bonded to a tiny god of white lies, and Kissen can't kill it without ending the girl's life too.

Joined by a disillusioned knight on a secret quest, this unlikely found family must travel to the ruined city of Blenraden, where the last of the wild gods reside, to each beg a favour. Pursued by assassins and demons, and in the midst of a burgeoning civil war, they will all face a reckoning. Something is rotting at the heart of their world, and they are the only ones who can stop it.

Godkiller will have you in its grasp from the first pages. . . An extraordinary journey." -- Samantha Shannon, New York Times bestselling author of The Priory of the Orange Tree

"Beautifully imagined and intensely felt . . . Godkiller is a bone-rattling fantasy thriller that flies by in a breathtaking rush." -- Joe Hill, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Locke & Key

"Epic and intimate, tender and sharp, Godkiller is a triumph of storytelling." -- Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf
