The last god’s blood holds the power to save—or destroy—the world.
 
The Gods are dead. All of them but Skjall. Haunted by dark magic, poor choices, and a lifetime of bad luck, Skjall spends his days hiding from heathens who wish to complete the deicide he survived centuries ago. However, when an ambush reveals his identity, he finds himself thrown into a whirlwind of kill-or-be-killed decisions.
 
Without the vigilance of the gods, a wicked king harvests his people in pursuit of immortality, and a twisted wish to ascend the divine throne. Skjall’s blood is the key to that throne, and he stands powerless with divinity balancing on the brink of extinction.
 
Desperate to survive, Skjall allies himself with a group of local, shape-shifting warriors and witches. But with the arrival of alchemically enhanced monster-soldiers, he finds himself on the losing end. Skjall must do everything he can to keep his blood from enemy hands, lest they use it to bend him to their will, reshaping the world into a breeding ground for monsters and false gods.
