A monarch. A sacrificial lamb. A traitor.
As Goddess of the Dead, Kigal’s world is looking brighter. Her cult has spread, her kingdom is finally safe, and a possible romance begins to bloom. Yet when she angers the mighty god Enlil, a terrible secret comes to light, one that shocks and horrifies her—the truth of what Nergal did to her mother.
With the two gods now locked in open opposition, Kigal is caught at an impasse. Risk looking weak in the eyes of the pantheon and leave her kingdom vulnerable, or exact vengeance upon the god she thought she knew—but risk destroying her heart? As cunning gods and ancient monstrosities scheme for ruin, Kigal finds herself forced to make a choice that could save herself—or damn them all.
Lord of Blight is a 30,000-word novella, the third in the Mesopotamian fantasy Queen of Shades series.
