Godsbane

Everything you know about your gods is a lie.
Born into a ruling family, Ivy Fellows is no stranger to power. In a nation devoid of magic and forced to worship the Golden Pantheon, Ivy has used her position to loudly oppose the gods, earning her enemies and a slanderous nickname in the process. When the King dies without an heir, Ivy must take her ailing father's place at the Ascension Vote to stop the most powerful man in Corinth from taking the throne.
Armed with weapons, wit, and secret earth magic in her veins, Ivy is ready to make the cross-country trek to the capital city, even if it means being forced to travel with the battle-famed Captain Callan Murphy, a man with a reputation even larger than her own.
But nothing is as it seems.
Determined to secure the captain as an ally, Ivy pushes Callan to open up and begins to suspect that he's hiding magic of his own. But uncovering his truths leads to a forbidden discovery of rebellion, bargains, prophecy, and destiny, culminating in an earth-shattering revelation that upends everything Ivy believes to be true.
Faced with a reality that looks nothing like the one she left behind, Ivy must learn to navigate her rapidly expanding magic and growing feelings for Callan to accomplish the impossible: kill a god and change the fate of her country, her world, and herself.
