Community rating: 4.3/5 from 3 ratings.
Lilith’s soul has never been her own. In Eizreth, a world sustained by reincarnation, this isn’t unusual.
Except Lilith’s soul belongs to the Wraith—a god rumored to have turned entire villages to ash. A skilled marksman in hiding, she will do anything to keep her savage soul lost in the dark.
But the gods must be balanced—each pair bonded to their opposite—for Eizreth’s magic to survive. Three hundred years ago, those bonds were broken, and much of the land has been dying ever since.
Jarek, the God Eater, remembers that day. He remembers Lilith’s ancestor and her involvement in his father’s war. He remembers his own failures, which have turned his homeland into a barren hellscape where sentient souls are harvested, hoarded, and sold.
Newly awoken from stasis and tasked with hunting Lilith down, Jarek will stop at nothing to right the wrongs of his past. But Lilith won’t be swayed so easily.
As ancient secrets emerge, Lilith and Jarek must learn to work together to navigate their families’ tangled legacies, otherwise the rot in Eizreth will continue to spread, and souls will continue to dwindle until there are none left at all.
