"INSTANT #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

""An epic fantasy odyssey begins."" -- Entertainment Weekly

""A richly rendered world . . . Kaner writes action that's both fun and intelligible . . . If ""The Last of Us"" didn't slake your thirst for stories of a grizzled fighter taking a tough kid on the road, then Godkiller should be your jam."" -- Charlie Jane Anders, The Washington Post

Enter a land of gods and monsters, soldiers and mercenaries, secrets and wishes--the explosive #1 internationally bestselling fantasy debut in a new trilogy for fans of The Witcher and Gideon the Ninth

Gods are forbidden in the kingdom of Middren. Formed by human desires and fed by their worship, there are countless gods in the world--but after a great war, the new king outlawed them and now pays ""godkillers"" to destroy any who try to rise from the shadows.

As a child, Kissen saw her family murdered by a fire god. Now, she makes a living killing them and enjoys it. But all this changes when Kissen is tasked with helping a young noble girl with a god problem. The child's soul is bonded to a tiny god of white lies, and Kissen can't kill it without ending the girl's life too.

Joined by a disillusioned knight on a secret quest, the unlikely group must travel to the ruined city of Blenraden, where the last of the wild gods reside, to each beg a favor. Pursued by assassins and demons, and in the midst of burgeoning civil war, they will all face a reckoning. Something is rotting at the heart of their world, and they are the only ones who can stop it.

""Godkiller will have you in its grasp from the first pages. . . An extraordinary journey."" -- Samantha Shannon, New York Times bestselling author of The Priory of the Orange Tree

""Beautifully imagined and intensely felt . . . Godkiller is a bone-rattling fantasy thriller that flies by in a breathtaking rush."" -- Joe Hill,

#1 New York Times bestselling author of Locke & Key

""Epic and intimate, tender and sharp, Godkiller is a triumph of storytelling."" -- Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf"

Reviews for Godkiller

"""Violent, bawdy, beautifully imagined, and intensely felt, Godkiller is a bone-rattling fantasy thriller that flies by in a breathtaking rush."" -- Joe Hill, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fireman ""A fresh and confident debut, Godkiller will have you in its grasp from the first pages. Led by a cast of spirited characters, it leaps and bounds to the beat of its own golden heart, building to an epic clash of wills. Hannah Kaner has taken her first great strides in what is sure to be an extraordinary journey."" -- Samantha Shannon, New York Times bestselling author of The Priory of the Orange Tree ""Epic and intimate, tender and sharp, Godkiller is a triumph of storytelling and the beginning of a story that I can't wait to follow."" -- Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf ""Holy heck, this book is so good. A disabled bisexual mercenary heroine who murders gods, a former soldier turned baker with a troubled past, a noble child linked to the god of white lies . . . You need this story in your life!"" -- Katee Robert, New York Times bestselling author of the Dark Olympus series ""Devastating and triumphant, Godkiller will eviscerate you."" -- Tasha Suri, award-winning author of The Jasmine Throne ""I absolutely adored Godkiller. This novel has everything--adventure, wonderful characters, tenderness, humor, passion. I was gripped by both the story and world building ... it is truly spellbinding."" -- Elodie Harper, internationally bestselling author of the Wolf Den trilogy ""Kaner thrusts readers into a grisly world of treacherous gods in her enthralling debut . . . Kaner's bewitching world forms an ideal backdrop to the adventures of her dynamic and appealing cast. This marks Kaner as a writer to watch."" -- Publishers Weekly ""The story's protagonists meet en route to Blenraden, and their clashing goals stir up immediate tension. As they are forced to rely on each other during their journey, they develop a found-family dynamic that will please many readers . . . In this debut trilogy launch, already a bestseller in the UK, Kaner provides a satisfying payoff, along with twists setting up a sequel with much higher stakes."" -- Library Journal ""This debut, a cross between The Witcher and Samantha Shannon's Roots of Chaos series, will attract many speculative readers, especially those compelled by folklore and found family. . . . The setting of Godkiller feels epic and lived in, suggesting much more story to be revealed in future installments of the planned trilogy."" -- Booklist ""A wonderful, gritty, explosively violent, and beautifully realized debut built around a mismatched trio's classic quest."" -- Daily Mail (UK) ""Kaner's debut offers all the bloodshed, demons, and magic a fantasy fan could want, while championing contemporary values such an inclusivity."" -- Financial Times (UK) ""Fantasy lovers like me can't wait for this one!"" -- Cosmopolitan (UK) ""Dark, gritty and highly immersive."" -- The Fantasy Hive (UK)"
