<p>The Godskin Throne (Book 1 of The Buried Gods Saga): The stunning debut fantasy novel from Rowan Blackwood.</p><p></p><p><strong>The Old Gods should have remained buried.</strong></p><p></p><p>For centuries, the Church of the One True God has ruled the Northern Realms in the highlands, teaching that the ancient Gods beneath the mountains were monsters best forgotten. Their temples were destroyed. Their bloodlines hunted. Their names were erased from history.</p><p></p><p>Elspeth Moray knows better than most what the church does to cursed blood. As the church's executioner, she has spent years carrying out holy judgment from the edges of society - feared by the people she serves and never fully accepted by the saints she obeys. But when a public execution unleashes forbidden Godskin magic inside her veins, Elspeth becomes the very thing the church fears most.</p><p></p><p>Hunted across storm-lashed mountains and haunted coastlines, Elspeth is drawn toward the ancient veil imprisoning the buried Gods. There she encounters: </p><ul><li>the Hollow Saints, immortal riders cursed to serve death itself, </li><li>the terrifying Wild Hunt, </li><li>the Winter Queen, known as the Cailleach, </li><li>and Caedran, the Hollow King - the first god ever betrayed.</li><li></li></ul><p>As the veil between life and death begins to fail, ancient horrors emerge from beneath the world, including the Devouring Dark, a force born from humanity's fear of death itself. Now Elspeth stands between two worlds: the mortal realm ruled by the church, and the forgotten gods rising beneath the mountains. But the deeper her bond with the Hollow King grows, the harder it becomes to know who the true monsters really are.</p>
