What to expect

This thrilling installment of the Dark Gods finds each of the heirs desperately attempting to pick up the shattered pieces of their lives. But gods don't stay defeated for long, and soon an old enemy threatens the very existence of their realm.

In the aftermath of the chaos and tragedy of Godsnight, the recovering heirs struggle to determine their next moves. But when Phos, the god of light, stages an attack on their home in a bid for cosmic control, the heirs decide to take the fight to Phos’s own realm of Solara.

Yet Solara hasn’t gone unscathed. It is being terrorized by an assassin named the Sunslayer targeting those in Phos’s bloodline, whose methods are troublingly familiar. As tensions run high and the Solarians prove reluctant to trust outsiders, Nikolas, Rian, and Julian set off to capture the Sunslayer to forge a delicate truce. Meanwhile, Angelica, Risha, and Dante search for a way to defeat Phos for good. But with adversaries closing in from every direction, the heirs will need to trust in one another if they want to survive long enough to take down a god.

That is, if they can survive the Sunslayer first.
