When Middren falls to the gods, your kind will be the first to die.
Gods are forbidden in the kingdom of Middren—but now they are stirring, whispering of war. Godkiller Kissen sacrificed herself to vanquish the fire god Hseth, who murdered her family and endangered her friends. But gods cannot be destroyed so easily, and Hseth’s power threatens to reform with even greater strength and a thirst for vengeance. As tensions rise throughout the land, the kingdom needs its Godkiller more than ever.
Still reeling from the loss of Kissen, young noble Inara and her little god of white lies, Skedi, have set out to discover more about the true nature of their bond. As the divide between gods and humans widens, Inara and Skedi will uncover secrets that could determine the fate of the war to come.
Meanwhile, Elogast, no longer a loyal knight of King Arren, has been tasked with killing the man he once called friend. The king vowed to eradicate all gods throughout the land, but has now entered into an unholy pact with the most dangerous of them all. And where his heart once beat, a god now burns...

Fallen Gods
Fallen Gods
2 books in catalog
The high-stakes fantasy world where gods are birthed by human desires and hunted by professional mercenaries introduced a fresh dynamic to epic fantasy with the launch of the Fallen Gods trilogy. English fantasy author Hannah Kaner gained widespread acclaim through her debut novel Godkiller, constructing a landscape where mortals struggle against rogue deities, divine pacts, and political intrigue.
Raised in Northumberland, Kaner attended the King Edward VI School in Morpeth before completing a first-class degree in English at Pembroke College, Cambridge, in 2014. She subsequently earned a Master of Science with distinction from the University of Edinburgh. Alongside her literary career, Kaner has worked as a senior digital consultant in Edinburgh, delivering digital healthcare tools and public services. Her writing career expanded rapidly following the publication of Godkiller, leading to translations of her work into fifteen languages and nominations for major honors, including the Hugo, Locus, British Fantasy, and British Book Awards.
Kaner draws inspiration from world mythologies, speculative fiction, and complex character dynamics, frequently centering her narratives on themes of resilience, faith, and mortal survival against overwhelming forces. Her storytelling emphasizes nuanced representation, exploring characters navigating disability, chronic illness, and mental health within high-fantasy settings. By combining gritty action with morally complex character arcs, her prose examines the personal costs of conflict and the narratives people craft to make sense of human existence.
