The 1st book of an epic new, Imperial Russia-inspired dark fantasy
duology of gods, politics, and deadly magical powers from a Sunday
Times bestselling author As a child, Galina’s village was
decimated in a battle between the alurea, a ruling class possessed
by gods imprisoned in human bodies. A stranger offers her
shelter—and justice against the empress who slaughtered her
family. The bargain is simple: Galina will become a vessel for a
deity of her own. And when the time comes, she will be a weapon
used to take control of the throne. Twenty years later, the woman
who invoked Galina’s god is dead, and she’s on the run with her
foster sister, Sera. Both women are fugitives struggling to adapt
to the deities within their bodies and forced to finally attempt
the mission they were groomed for: infiltrate the palace and
overthrow the cruel empress to end the brutal reign of alurea. But
their duty grows complicated when Sera’s ruthless former partner
catches up with her, and Galina finds herself on the verge of
losing her heart to an enemy princess. As secrets and lies come to
light, both women will discover what they’re willing to do for
their people—and how far they’ll go to occupy a blood-soaked
throne. For readers eagerly awaiting the next season of Shadow and
Bone or those hoping to find similar reads with a more adult
audience and more queer representation, These Monstrous Gods is the
perfect new dark fantasy to fall in love with.
