A young woman on the run from her fate must face her past to save her future. This fierce fantasy of blended cultures is the perfect read for fans of For She is Wrath, We Hunt the Flame and Children of Blood and Bone.

When she bleeds, the Kingdom falls.

At five years old, Nisha was selected to be the Living Goddess – a mortal vessel for the great Goddess Shantavi. But on her twelfth birthday, Nisha escaped the temple before she could be sacrificed at the hands of the Immortal King.

Now the Kingdom searches for its new Living Goddess and their eye has fallen on Ratna, the only family Nisha has left.

Helped by a Golden Eagle Warrior and the only boy she has ever trusted, Nisha must learn to embrace her power in order to liberate her people.

It’s time to take the Kingdom back.

‘A thought-provoking feminist fantasy set within a richly developed, immersive world, Blood of Gods and Girls sends a chilling message about the fragility of freedom and an all too poignant reminder of the cruelty of mankind. Brave, brilliant and beautifully written, Nisha and the Mortal Goddess stayed with me long after I turned the last page.’
A. J Clack, author of Lie or Die
