The epic sword-and-sorcery adventure of the Bound Gods fantasy series, which started with In the Shadow of the Gods and The Bones of the Earth, 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.

The bound Twins are growing stronger, and soon they will once again be able to challenge their parents?the Divine Mother and the Almighty Father. Their pursuit of power, though, casts a shadow across the land, creating sharp divisions as an ancient war rises reborn. For most, survival is paramount, but a sly priest named Joros has secretly assembled a disparate group of exceptional people to turn the tide in his favor . . . whichever way that might be. But they are all still just mortals, and this is a war among gods. Victory?and what that means to the people of this world?is far from certain.As deadly magic takes hold, the tenuous bonds tying these uneasy allies begin to unravel. If they cannot find a way to keep their band together, each of their lives?and the entire world?will be lost to the darkness, leaving nothing but the bones of the earth. . . .

Eons ago, a pair of gods known as the Twins grew powerful in the world of Fiatera, until the Divine Mother and Almighty Father exiled them, binding them deep in the earth. But the price of keeping the fire lands safe is steep. To prevent these young gods from rising again, all twins in the land must be killed at birth, a safeguard that has worked until now. Trapped for centuries, the Twins are gathering their latent powers to break free and destroy the Parents for their tyranny?to set off a fight between two generations of gods for control of the world and the mortals who dwell in it. When the gods make war, only one side can be victorious. Joros, a mysterious and cunning priest, has devised a dangerous plan to win. Over eight years, he gathers a team of disparate fighters?Scal, a lost and damaged swordsman from the North; Vatri, a scarred priestess who claims to see the future in her fires; Anddyr, a drug-addled mage wandering between sanity and madness; and Rora and Aro, twins who have secretly survived beyond the reach of the law. These warriors must learn to stand together against the unfathomable power of vengeful gods, to stop them from tearing down the sun . . . and plunging their world into darkness.
